Yet again suprise suprise the Disco played up on me doing the L2B run

at the minute the Disco has no power and that the only description i can offer... on the motorway I could barely keep upto 60 and the was with my foot flatter to the floor then ever and keeping in a lower gear to rev the pants of it  :evil:

and also at the same time my fuel comsumption has halfed 3/4 tank of diesal just to get to brighton with a top up on the way home  :shock:

does anyone have a idea whats up with the thing this time ?

cheers keith

Disco Matt:
My first thought would be to check the turbo hoses for any splits, etc.

Thrasher:
Lift pump?

landroverkeith:
Ive had a new lift almost a year ago as it was chucking fuel out like a trooper b4 but i could smell the neat diesal then ive not seen any patches of diesal either on the drive or in my space at work??

Turbo Hose ty ill check that too as it does seem to behave as there isnt one... ty for the speedy replys guys :)

Budgie:
When you check the turbo hoses, take them off and check the insides for any delamination that could be blocking the airflow.
Also check the vacuum pipe from the turbo to the diaphram on the injector pump to make sure there are no splits in that, it runs around the back of the engine block.  ;)
One other thing to check (this happend to me), under the exhaust manifold is a threaded arm that connects the exhaust flap to the turbo. The threaded arm is only held onto the exhaust flap by a "C" clip on the underside and this can fall off, so no turbo!!
