Hi, I'm a newbie on here and am painstakingly trying to solve the seemingly common 'Restricted Performance' issue when revving my 2010 Disco 4 over 2800rpm. I've cleaned the turbo bypass valve (lower front right), used Turbo Cleaner in the two tanks of fuel, sprayed two cans of Turbo cleaner through the second turbo air intake, but still the problem exists. I notice that the problem does not occur in low ratio; can anyone illuminate me as to why not, and possible 'next steps', please? Thanks!

Hi, yes, it's the usual P22D3-77 and P22CF-71 which I gather, in theory, relate to Turbo Inlet valve stuck closed and the valve control circuit open, respectively. I have also learnt that the Restricted Performance kicks in at 2800, when the secondary turbo should activate. However, as I said above, this issue does not occur when working in Low Ratio....
 
I would hazard a guess unless you are towing something really heavy the engine wont see any real load in low range, so no real load = no real power needed= no need for secondary turbo.

Was reading the other day that the secondary turbo is activated every 30 seconds or so even at idle to keep the thing moving.

Thanks! Yes, there is a mod; I have the pipe, and just need to work out how best to extract the starter motor...! The pipe mod will cure the cause, but i still need to free up the actuator. What's the best way to get to it? I'm thinking i may have to remove the off side wing...

No many D3 on here and even less D4 so you are either going to be the test pilot, OR pop over to Disco3.co.uk excellent site, search function also works!
Look at the Wiki section at the top of the D3 page loads of useful info/fixes etc in there.
