Hi guys,
I'm wondering if any 1 can help me please. My Landy has recently started to run rough and very sluggish when pulled away. I have a disco 1 tdi 300 auto and when I first bought it, it ran very well compared to my old disco and pulled very well and got up to 90 mph without a problem. Now when I first start the car in the morning it hardly wants to move untill you get up to about 50 - 60 it's bearable. When stopped at traffic lights the idle seems to go up and down slightly but if you put it in neutral it's fine for about 60 seconds then it's starts again. When you open the bonnet there is a strong smell of diesel. I've had 3 mechanics look over it and all say different things. 1 said the turbo the other said a blockage in the pipes and the other said the fuel pump.
It's an old bus and I don't want to spend hundreds having people trouble shoot it. Has any one got any ideas on what this is? I am pretty mechanically minded and am willing to try anything. I have so far replace the fuel filter and checked for any puddles and nothing apart from some drops of what is deffinitely oil which was the sump that was slightly loose.
Please help any idea is appreciated
