Proud owner of a 300tdi (95MY) Disco 1 since May this year.

Vehicle has done 165,000 miles. Recently had a new timing belt and head gasket (proper job).

She seems to perform reasonably well and returns around 30mpg average but I have noticed of late that she is quite 'breathless' at anything over 3000rpm. She struggles a bit on long motorway climbs and when towing.

Am I expecting too much or does anyone have any suggestions (sensible please )

Check for air leaks and turbo hoses, fuel pump not right, blocked injectors

Does it rev to the limit in neutral or is it just under load it struggles
