Ref a possible EGR issue, research alternative options on this site to replacing them before you go ahead with this work. I am not sure what is available for the 3.0 but others can advise. If you replace them it will be expensive and you will most likely to have to do it again in 60,000km.
Does it start without pushing the brake pedal? Just key in the car, push the button?
Hmmm. My EGR is still working fine 300,000km later. I haven’t had to replace them once let alone five times.Quote:

Hey all I said was research the topic before spending big bucks - noting while you guys may not have had issues, the OP does have EGR fault codes.
I would be checking the plug on the throttle pedal for corrosion and a clean with contact cleaner, failing that if there is a TPS fault it will be in the pedal.
Mine has very similar symptoms. Check Engine light on. On startup it would sound a bit cranky and then idle but if you put the foot down it wouldn’t rev. To get it to move I had to put it in low range. Once warmed up it would drive OK. This was/is a faulty EGR valve. It was stuck so it was pushing cold air into the intake.
It’s in as we speak to get them replaced. I’ve opted to do both instead of one now and then other requiring to be done later. May as well do both now. Mine has 260,000 kms on it.
From all my research it’s not as simple as an EGR delete (remove and blank off) on the Discovery 3’s. The 4 need reprogramming work and I’m not even 100% sure you can get it done anywhere. If it was a Disco 3 I would absolutely get the permanent removal done.
