I'm currently borrowing a 97/98 diesel auto disco.
The engine is over-reving with the car going very slowly for the rev of the engines! I think the torque convertor has gone. The car will get upto speed but it doesnt like hills at all! Owner thought it may be to do with the kickdown. Before I tell him he needs a new torque convertor is there anything quick and easy I can do to confirm it?
Also, the engine check light and SRS light is on. They came on at the same time as the car started to "loose speed" and overrev. I think this is because the ECU is seeing low speed for the engine revs and throwing up the error?
I tried to connect an ODB II but it wont connect. I took it to a mate who has a fancy bit of kit but this did not have the "language" of Land Rover in it!! Is there a cheap diagnostic thats garenteed to talk with the 97/98 Disco?
I am in kenya so dont suggest going to any local dealer - rubbish!!! The owner already went through that trouble.
