    Rough Idle and Lack of Power

    when i got my Disco 2 Td5 18 months ago it also ran rough and lumpy from cold. I filled up with BP Ultimate and this definately made a big difference. I never use supermarket fuel and also add 2so each time i fill up. Worth a try and not expensive.

    Intermittent coil light (and cold start )

    New Toy

    Once you get the foam out and dried can I suggest what I did to my Disco1. I reckoned the foam got wet through condensation forming where the inspection hatch to the tank sits. Cured that by putting a complete newspaper over the hatch which would absorb the damp. Had my Disco for 5 years after I...
