D2 td5 and lack of power on hills

Gday all, i have booked the old girl in to see JC this month and today i was just checking oils and fluids and noticed she has like exhaust splatter all over the header tank, battery box (engine side) and various wiring and hoses, as this is the intake side of the engine it must be the intercooler hose or EGR but could not see exactly wherte it was coming from, may be just aswell i ordered new intercooler hoses, am still waiting to get a price from a fello down here in Tas for the EGR kit

Thankyou to Justin (JC) a really big thankyou, All fixed totaly now and what a mess it was, the fuel block had some damage on the inside filter ???, the EGR had not been put back together properly from the last to look at it hence all the exhauste splatter in the engine bay, the waste gate checked out good, late tuesday avo it was found the CAT was not to good, Justin took it off and it was totaly U/S 1 big rattle not a lot of little rattles like have been come across before so another CAT fitted and wholey **** it was like driving a new car again even Justing had the biggest smile on his face so as getting late i put up in a motel room just down the road and Justin finnished off the service this morning then i drove home to Launceston. It was most curtainly worth the drive and O/Nighter, I was great to have met Justin and also Paul, you can not get any better mechanics to work on you landy than landy owners.
What impressed myself and Deb was Justin even phone a little while after getting home to see how i went, mate you certainly get a pat on the back for friendship and service thankyou again mate. ;):BigThumb:

Hi Mark, a really big thankyou for your thankyou:D, It was great to meet you, and make sure you both come down next time for a daytrip, too. It was a bit of a saga but got there in the end, glad it is going well now, and you are enjoying your Disco like it should be. Has Deb driven it yet?:o

JC

It was all my pleasure mate and Deb said yep we will be both down next time. She drove it when i came home as we had to go into town to see the daughter, when we came home it went up the southern cutting at 100 and accelerating :D she loves it as her "DD" (Debs Disco) is back :twisted:
