Problem overview

Some Land Rover LR2 owners report experiencing a strong gas smell potentially due to issues with the gas cap and fuel system, including leaks in the fuel lines and fittings. This odor can indicate underlying problems that need to be addressed promptly. Additionally, some owners encounter persistent cylinder 3 and 6 misfire codes, which may stem from electrical faults that do not directly correlate with the misfire issue itself. To diagnose these misfires accurately, it is recommended to clear the faults, run the vehicle, and monitor which codes reappear. Conducting a thorough inspection of the fuel system and seeking expert help for electrical diagnostics can help resolve these ongoing concerns and ensure the vehicle operates efficiently.
