Hi all!,
I'm new to this site and I need your help,
Just brought a 3.9 300 disco and its lacking a bit of power.
So first thing I checked is the airflow meter (I knew these can be a problem)
On inspection i found that on top of the meter there is a port (with nothing connected) and its full of silicone.
Im thinking this is a quick fix for a faulty meter, what should i do? buy a replacement or take out the silicone and try that?
Many many thanks,

DiscoveryRover

Have a look at this mate, i think the "port" you mention may be the adjuster:

this page helped me confirmed which bits work to help with an idling issue I have in the V8 section!!

Thanks for your help, can't think why there's silicone in the adjuster - obviously broken at some point. Best to just change it I think
Oh and l live in Devon
Thanks for the help people

I have just realised that the silcone is because its been adjusted at some point and ensures it not adjusted again!

Thanks to cox325 for the link, the info was amazing!
