Sounds normal for my Mpi. Are you sure you dont have a mpi engine under there :wink: :lol:
Seriously tho, I think it could be the lift pump. I seem to recall other posts on other forums with similar symptons and everyone shouting about the lift pump.
iianorthants:
sound like what was happening with my defender when lift pump went.
to test on defender just need to carefully undo fuel filter and see if full to the brim ..... not full good chance of lift pump leaking, but not sure if the same on the disco
petergalileo:
Small air leak in the fuel supply would cause this too. I dont reckon its anything major on the engine though as being a diesel and you havent said anything about large amounts of smoke which is normally a dead give away.
