Hi, I thought i'd start a thread to document a problem i'm having with my Disco.
It's a 200TDI that i've recently purchased. And instantly I noticed it doesn't go anywhere near as well as my old 200, as well as the following problems:
The Disco is slow to start. I mean it cranks over OK - maybe a touch slower than my old one did. But it cranks for a good while before catching. Once it starts it splutters a bit before settling into idle.
Once it's running, occasionally it'll stutter on idle. Every now and then when driving it, when you return to idle it almost stalls itself, before returning to a normal idle eventually - or with a big kick of the throttle to get some fuel going again.
Sometimes when accelerating, i'll change gear from around 3k RPM, re-apply the throttle to where I would usually need to, to continue accelerating. But the car will instead need more throttle to continue accelerating!
I predict i've got a fuel supply issue somewhere. I threw some diesel injector cleaner through the tank, and also turned up the main fuel screw. Both of these issues have helped a little for now, but of course neither would solve the issue.
I've got an air and fuel filter and a few bits coming in the post tomorrow, and i've checked my boost hoses are in-tact and tight. I also have chucked an extra earth cable between the block and the battery.
Any ideas?
