Hello I am new to this forum but I need some help or advice.

Have an 08 90 defender with the tdci engine and been good so far if u ignore standard LR problems but on journey home tonight it became very sluggish when revving engine. Foot would be on the floor and it would slowly build revs till hitting approx 3000 when it would suddenly roar away. When I got home smelt very hot around engine somewhere and even when stationary engine was still sluggish to rev.

Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks
