Discover the world offroad .....in a Land Rover Discovery
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.

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.
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,

I'v pulled the console out to see the linkages and they are moving ok and
don't look broken. It seems to be stuck in high and diff lock works but only in high. Can someone tell me what to look for next, shall i remove the top of the transfer box ?
got my non cat defender downpipes from RJS,finally unpacked em,went to fit on 300 manual with the engine out....and theres no hook for the rubber support half way along.Since theres a fitting on the chassis I would spose that MOT would require it be used and that it needs it anyway.....or is it?
Do I need to weld on a piece oce of bar,quite a big deal for me for various reasons,or what?
Can anybody help me with the Check Engine light? When I turn the key the Check Engine light comes on but then goes off once the engine starts. Is this a bulb check or do I have a problem? Also can anybody recommend a tool for reading fault codes? My Disco is a ’96 300 TDI
I have seen a few references to something called TestBook which I assume is a diagnostics program. Is this available to us or is this a main dealer tool?
Disco 1994 3.9 140K. Have just bought this as a weekend car to abuse and scare small animals and badgers :eek: on the lanes in our area as the 2.5TD wasn't loud enough. There is a knocking sound which at first sounds like the big ends but spookily is coming from the auto box. I suspect it is probably the mainshaft but do not have much experience of auto boxes. I have rebuilt gearboxes and engines before so have some technical expertise but unfortunatly don't have the time to undertake the prolonged tinkering that this may require to pin point.
Has anybody else had similar experience and if so what was the solution.
If anyone can point me in the right direction with this query, I'd be over t'moon. I've a Discovery 7-seater Pursuit (2.5 diesel auto) with BLACK CLOTH seating which is a disaster!! It's a disaster because I have 3 grandchildren and 3 hairy dogs. I know, I know...I should have had (and could have had) leather, but that's 4-year history now. I hate seat covers, so that's not an option. I dimly remember someone saying that one could get an upgrade kit to the "ES" spec. Does anyone know about this? The wagon's only got 36k on the clock, and its all paid for so I have no good reason to chop it in - the thing'll probably see me out anyway. So if anyone knows where I can get my hands on leather upholstery, I'd be forever grateful. I have to say that I do not love my Discovery - it's boring, but it does what it's supposed to do perfectly. I want my Defender back!
Grateful for any ideas....I think this is the first time I've EVER posted anything to any forum! Many thanks, newbie seary1.
First off excuse the daft questions but me disco didnt come with an owners manual nor have i had chance to get meself a haynes yet.
After purchasing me disco a few days ago ive give it a check over oil levels etc etc but reading the atf levels in the auto box is either worrying or im being a dipstick :D ive read somewhere that to check the auto box levels you have to fire it up stick it in 1st then into park so on and so forth then read it on the dipstick, could someone clarify this for me please and tell me the procedure i dont even know if it should be running or not to check this.
If this isnt the case it seems like my auto box is well overfilled and i mean well overfilled fluid level comes several inches up the stick (hence the worrying) as ive just bought it i wonder if the auto box is shagged or on its way out and its just been overfilled so that it works it seems to work ok its nice and smooth through the gears, kicksdown ok, fluid is nice and clean with no particles in it so i dont know???? i dont know sod all about auto's tbh oh and if anyone has a spare owners handbook gathering dust i could give it a loving caring home :)
