Lumpy running tdi 300

Hi all,



My Disco has started running rough and sluggish (a bit like a petrol engine with a fouled plug). Very lumpy tick over and white smoke.



Slackened injector unions one by one, and each time running got rougher on each except number 2 - which displays frothing diesel. Removed very soggy injector. gave good clean and put back - but no improvement.



Have seen similar thread, where new injector bought and no improvement - so a little reticent to rush out and buy a new one in case the problem lies elsewhere.



Has anyone come across similar symptoms?



THANKS.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Brecon Beacons National Park Management Plan 2009-2014 Consultation Draft

The Brecon Beacons National Park Authority is preparing a new management plan for the next 5 years, entitled Managing Change Together. The plan lays out strategies for conserving and enhancing the Park’s natural and cultural resources, promoting understanding and enjoyment of the Park and fostering economic and social well-being of local communities.

Managing Change Together is the result of consultation which officially began in October 2006, involving a wide variety of partners. We continue to engage interested stakeholders to improve the quality of the Management Plan and, ultimately, improve the management of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This consultation draft is an important step in this process.

A draft of the new plan is now being distributed for public consultation which continues through 31 August 2008. It is also available at http://www.breconbeacons.org/content...nd-policy/npmp.

During the consultation period, the Authority will organise a series of discussions to formulate management priorities for the next five years, including those of the Authority and other key stakeholders. Priorities will include a series of outcomes and related actions that will be accomplished during this period that ultimately keep the Park on track with the twenty-year aims and the vision. The Priorities for Action document will also be sent out for public consultation.

Please share your comments with us so that we can continue to successfully manage this ever-changing landscape TOGETHER! In order to make the most efficient use of your time, please refer to the Reviewer’s Guide (attached).

If you have any comments or questions regarding this consultation draft, please do not hesitate to contact me in writing, on my direct line at 01874 620411, or via email at bradley.welch@breconbeacons.org.



Regards,

Broken Rocker arm and fuel injector.

My 2003 TD5 Discovery has a broken rocker arm and fuel injector.(72000 miles).

Has anyone seen this before? I''m current working in Korea so can't supervise the repair.

I'm just curious if this is not uncommon?



I've owned the disco for 3 years. Had the usual problem with the injector wiring loom and the window regs.

But generally very good.



Look forward to your replies.
