Forget what I said above about looking for leaks; this site's approach is saner and safer :

Transgenic tomato anyone?

Ireland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

Have gone thru engine compartment with an experienced disel fitter mate, ( currently working on scanias) and we spotted nothing out of order
yet he has noticed the drop in performance compared to the 2005 , and that after only driving it occasionally
back to the books i think
or else #just accept it Big Cry Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

Also appears 9/10 of stopping is stopping in time

Is it possible to get the car on a Dyno and that will tell you what the car is actually puting out. Of course it would need to be a four wheel drive one. Club Pie n Pea

Blackbetty, did your mate actually do a pressure test like my last post? My reading of the net (yeah I know, armchair expert Sad ) suggests it's the only way to be sure as visual inspections are unlikely to find the majority of leaks. Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Black smoke ... loss of power...

Me thinks one of your EGR's is playing up? Diagnostic check will confirm mine did the same and I had it replaced under TESCO warranty. Perfect now with no smoke screen under throttle. s/s side protection bars, s/s front bumper protector, rear DVD's, Ebony leathered up, harmon ipod dock, remapped & still draining my wallet!!!
