crazylady:
thanks for all your help again we did the take pipes off thing and it blows still. its not the tyres cos had them on since bought car. replaced all the hoses. and the guy with the comment about the garage your right he wont be getting paid .going to find that guy jez you told me about when hubby gets the car recovered from cambridge as the sump has now had a wee all down the street big hole in it. if it wasnt for the fact that we have now spent too much to give up would use it at the next destrution derby. i never seen a landy like it reckon it was parked in the sea half its life  :cry:

muddyjames:
Oh dear not good.

I didnt realise it was that bad a disco when you first mentioned it. I just thought it was a small teething trouble you had with the disco. Dint know it had a whole list of past major things going wrong!

When I took a series 3 to Jez he looked at it and said to me "just sell it as you will be spending more than it is worth mending it"

This sounds very familiar to something that I had on mine a year ago. It me stumped. I knew it wasn't intercooler, pipes or turbo.
It turned out to be the simplest of things, namely crud in the fuel line. It was fine on tickover, but as soon as it was put under load, the revs dropped away to nothing.
I had the lines blown through at a diesel specialist in Portsmouth and it has been fine since.
I put it down to poor quality from fuel at Morrisons, as I had filled up there and it happened two days after that.
I'd get that checked.
Good luck, and don't give up on the Beasty yet. I have one the same as yours and it goes like a dream, apart from when it gets fed cruddy fuel :roll:

you cant simulate boost loads when not driving the landy, yes the turbo will blow abit, but it wont be on boost so you think its ok when really it might not even be producing the 0,8 bar that it should be doing at full throttle up hill in 3rd or 4th
