Hi guys,
I'm not here often, usually any advice I need has been covered before 7 it's just a matter of searching. So thank you for all your help, weather you have realized you have helped or not, you have, thank you.
I am a Land Rover/Range Rover tragic, have had series 1 Discos, now have 2x series 2's, (1x V8, 1x TD5, & a L322 Rangie) so I'm usually pretty good for an answer; But this time,....no joy in a search, so I am asking up front.
My TD5 seems to be getting slower in her old age, she is an absolute gem, fully ARB kitted, sorted really, really well, right down to the solid steel rear bumper, I mean, you could want for nothing in this car, full house, so I really, really want to keep her, I could never afford all that stuff again on another car! Now, it might be I'm spoilt by the "Zip & Pep" the L322 (deisel) seems to have, but the old Disco seems to be getting so slow, my son describes it as, "Wheezing". Yet everything checks out fine as far as the guys at the, "Stealership" are concerned, she has been faithfully serviced every single 10,000K, & believe me, if those guys could find something to add to the bill,...They would! Any ideas, or is it just me?
There must be a thousand years of experience here, so any ideas on giving my favorite girl some more. "pep in her step"? Thanks guys,...Over to you!

Check all the hoses around the turbo and while your at it ... have a good look at the turbo and check for any cracks or oil leaks.
How many kms has she done?

Series 2 are getting near on 10 years old now
rubber and various types of rubber hoses decay after years, consider that they are in a hot country and a hot engine bay area.
I would consider checking your air hoses in teh inlet system. They can delaminate and bulge inwards, impedeing air flow. Also a clean of the intercooler and inlet mani-fold may help as well, again, after 10 years, despite ther being filters, there could well be gunk in there.
Just because a stealership bills your for it, doesnt mean they do it

suggestions
MAF, intercooler hoses-tubo connects,trans oil and finally a remap--does wonders---the EGR removal is essential for longevity---

disconnect maf sensor and see how it goes if better then all else maybe well, i found the same symtons a while ago and for a simple check has shown a bad maf sensor.

err, try sending it to jenny craig. sounds like it is a bit heavy now with all those accesories...
power to weight ratios go the wrong way the more stuff you add to the vehicle...
i would also get a look at the actual maf output numbers and report back here

Yes, I didnt express that very well, I meant that the youngest are 10 years old, our first was aon 02, our current is an 02, yes, there are plenty out there older (and probly a lot cheaper and less hassel than a 10yo kid!)

I had another thought as well.
May be it needs a good blow out, take it for a decent hard drive, get it hot and burn off some of the soot that accumulates.
Diesels need to work some times to blow the cob webs out.
after reading all the above, I think the suggestions here cover all things to do
Let us know how it goes
