Mine had an ignition issue causing me to use more throttle causing it to down shift. Check all plugs - leads - coil - amplifier to sort missfire that may solve box issue. Someone with much more knowledge skill and experience will be along soon

Right just an update I managed to find a pipe that had come loose so I've now put pipe clips on and I've checked the ht leads and found one is faulty so they will be replaced tomorrow fingers crossed this sorts the problem out

Right maybe someone can help I went to get a new set of HT leads for my disco 2 4.0 V8 on LPG on a 2000 when I got them home I found they were the wrong ones so took them back only to be told there was only one set for my car listed I tried to explain with one of my leads in my hand there can't be. The leads I was given had a plastic part sticking out where it goes into the coil pack but the ones I have on mine are flush with the rubber and have a white ring on I've had to buy a set online but can anyone tell me why every shop I went in I got looked at as if I was mad.
