All,
Been away for a bit due to not being able to view the NG on Outlook Express for some reason and a very very duff end of 2008 and crap start to 2009 (bloody wimmin......amongst other things.....).
Anyway during this time i got round to doing some jobs on me TD5 Disco. New rear calipers and pads fitted, fitted CB in cubby hole, stopped passenger side front door leaking, replaced head lamp washer unit. Now last thing to do is sort the lack of power. Car is a Y reg with 107,000 miles. So far i have:
Stripped and cleaned the EGR valve. It was minging big time. I plan to fit a blanking kit pretty soon. Clean the MAP sensor. Again this was covered in black goo. New air filter. Cleaned the injector harness plug under the rocker cover. Pulled plug apart and oil dripped out.
Now i have had a look for the oil in ECU plugs, but have to say it all looks dry. I aint pulled the plugs yet though. Only thing left to do is change the fuel filter. Was out in the car at the weekend with another AFL'er (hello Richard S) in North Wales, and we both agree that mine is lacking in acceleration compared to my mates 51 plate TD5 who was also with us. Get mine up to 70mph on the M5 and it will sit there no problem. Anything else i should be looking at??.
