    TD5 loss of power

    They plugged a laptop in and no fault codes showed. I dont want to spend £200 on a fuel pump if that's not the problem!! I thought a blocked injector might be the cause of the rough idle but i'm still no clearer on the reseon it wouldn't start at all or go over 2000rpm when it was working.

    TD5 loss of power

    Just a quick update. After the great advice yesterday I got a local chap to check the wiring and he said some oil has gone into the wiring loom, he cleaned both the fuel and air filters and looked at the EGR valve. He got it going for a little bit but then it cut out, it runs if he sprays...

    TD5 loss of power

    Hi all If I attempt to go over 2000rpm (in any gear), pressing the accelerator has a negative affect on power and actually slows me down, it feels like I'm driving through treacle. I cannot get the revs over 3000rpm. It has been running fine until last night and then this, also it takes ages...

    Hi All, My Disco 2 currently runs 255/55/18 but I want to get a set of off road wheels that I can throw on when needed, can anyone recommend which size/tyres would be best? I understand that the wheel may have to be a 16" but what tyre size then? Also I want to use on mud so any suggestions...

    Flat Spot

    OK, if you're sure its not a fuel problem, it might just be a trait of your Disco, which isn't the best answer, I know!! How long have you had it? Has it always been like that? Drive around the block with the low ratio box engaged, does it do it then? It simply might be that you're...

    Disco 2, 3rd row seats

    I coated everything in WD40, moved everything back, forward and back again. still not working. The outer hinge (next to the cup holder) just doesn't want to lock.

    Flat Spot

    Apart from the pause when it's at idle, does it do it at any other time? i.e when a gear is engaged/pulling out at junctions etc. I can do a 'quick' start if I slip the clutch but generally there is a slight pause when pulling away whilst the 2.5 engine tries to move the heavy body, me, the wife...

    can't access FOR SALE!!

    With no sarcasm intended, the 'for sale' area is locked because it is being upgraded. That's how i'm reading it anyway.

    Disco 2, 3rd row seats

    Many thanks I'll have a look and keep you posted. It does seem that the inner lock(when folded away, the top hinge) doesn't latch in place when attempting to use the seats.

    Flat Spot

    Possible solutions (not in any order) Fuel - Pipe is damaged, filter needs changing, ECM needs checking. Does it seem to be running to rich or lean? might be fuel pressure problem ECM related Air - Filter damaged/needs cleaning. Intake blocked? Does it do little stop-start journeys? does...

    Is your Disco Manual or Auto, if manual, does it help riding the clutch and giving more revs?

    Disco 2, 3rd row seats

    Hello all, some help required. :confused: I can't get the backs of the 3rd row seats into the upright position. The manual says that they'll only work if the base is fully locked into place, which it appears to be but still no luck, any ideas? Is this a common problem. I'm back into Land...
