Swore at it... Tried to start the Disco this evening, and it just span over on the starter, quite fast. Took about 5 seconds to fire up. Felt like a fuel issue. So Ive bought a new air bleed valve off the Bay, to see if thats the issue. Im coming to the thought that my whole low power under 2000 revs is a fuel starvation problem.

Ordered a fuel non-return valve to replace same time as the air bleed. Will pick up a fuel filter as well, just for peace of mind.

Replaced all flexible brake pipes plus changed the metal brake pipes over to copper/ nickel,
Unable to undo most of them so used a grinder with cutting disc, easiest option,
Now have pipes that will pass MOT muster,

Past five days driven it around North Yorkshire circa 290 miles from Cheshire and used half tank of derv and returned 32mpg

Really happy steepest it got was Sutton Bank 25% grade and really pulled through it

Cained the arse out of my Disco at 3am to a job. Lots of power, intermittent stutters in power on full throttle.... Thought my Nanocom would have picked up a few over boost or TPS faults, but nothing.... Strange.
