Reply With QuoteSounds like engine braking to me, did you have it in sports mode?
hi all, just signed up so this is all new to me, trying to work out How To navigate around this sight anyway I think I'm in th right place now. I have a 2008 2.7 turbo diesel discovery auto and I've noticed that when I take my foot of th accelerator it seems as though I am slightly applying th brakes and is worse as it gets into 1st gear like th transmission is tight or something, has this occurred for anyone else?

You may have hill decent button on ! You will know this as it displays logo with vehicle on a slope.
Nope, I tried pressing it while I was slowing down cause I thought th same thing but a msg flashed up on dash saying something like speed to high so it won't engage if your going to fast.

SubscriberHow long have you had the D3 and what vehicle did you have before it?
MY08 TDV6 D3 Zermatt Silver, B.A.S ECU Remap, ARB Bar, 12K Kingone Winch, 2x100Ah LiFePo4 Auxiliary Power, Safari Snorkel, Baja Rack Roof Rack, Brown Davis Aux. Tank, RWC, Front Runner Rear Ladder, Drifta Drawers, Doran TPMS, LLAMS, GAP IID BT.
It's not a racecar is about all I can say. What your experiencing could be just how it is. Try jumping in a mates disco if available.
Then you can compare. But tbh unless youve got noise then I wouldn't worry.
Had a td5 and have owned the 3 since th start of this year but only just noticed this issue in th last week. Drove it today in sports mode and it's really noticeable in first, really resists when backing off.

SubscriberAre you sure that the vehicle is not in low range or a low range mode? A message like what you said above usually only appears if the cars in low range and you exceed the safe speed limit for the Transfer case. The air suspension also limits vehicle speed if in access or off-road height.
when was the last time the transfer case, front and rear differential oils were changed?
also, if driven normally the transmission rarely uses first gear. Normal start stop driving will use 2nd to move off,(saves fuel) Only in manual mode or in low range will it use 1st to get the most benefit of the torque converter lock-in up nice and early.

What does the tacho look like when this is happening? IE do the revs stay up and consistently lower in line with car speed? Or does the needle drop when you take your foot off, then the car slows while the needle remains low?
Im wondering if it’s really transmission related or maybe handbrake dragging or something brakes related?
