What does the ODO say?
You using a mechanic?
When was the last service?
What & when was the list of parts you replaced?

The odomitor says 276 222 km.
I don't have a michanic but my Dad use to teach me.
I have only had the Disco from December and it was serviced then with a new oil filter and oil, the vacume advance was fixed and a new fuel filter.
When i got the Disco it hadn't been running for a couple of years.

Mmmmm ... So many directions to chose from ... Then lets start with the simple things first


Check the rubber intake hose from the MAF to the throttle body for splits
Check for split vacuum hoses in general

Change the spark plugs ... use NGK

In total darkness (night time) ... Lift the bonnet / Start the motor up and look at the spark plug leads for arking ... If you see blue electrical arking, then change the leads

Unplug the electrical connection to the MAF / start it up and see if it changes things


Start there and see how it progresses


Under the wheel arch at the drivers side rear wheel is a fuel filter ...That's what you changed?
Do you have a compression gauge?


Cheers
Mike

Thank you so much Mike, i will do that ASAP, and yes i do have a compression gauge and i will do a compression test.
Thanks for all your help

Hi Thomas,
Not on gas is it?

Hello Nomad9, no the Disco isn't on Gas as yet but it will be, and i've been told i'll need to have lower tempreture spark plugs for it.
