Help, iid borrow in Glasgow or Inverness
Hi
I've just driven up from Bournemouth and since Lancaster I've lost most low down power. I've done a more detailed thread in D3 maintenence if anyone wants to look.
The problem is the AA have crap computers and can't see any faults with my car.
I'm in Glasgow tomorrow and Inverness Monday night until Wednesday, then across Central Scotland. Does anyone have a tool that they are willing to plug me into for beer money or know of a local indy I can goto.
Thanks

You could try site sponsor DiscoMikey who is based in Dundee (MMP Landrover) and fantastic. Best give him a ring as sometimes he is so busy PMs aren’t answered immediately. Alternately Strathearn Engineering near Aucterarder are excellent. They are just off A9 15 miles south of Perth.
Best

UPDATE
A massive thank you to disco Mikey from MMP landrover in Dundee
He put the car on diagnostic and soon worked out it was an egr stuck open, and was clever enough to know it was the hot one. After kindly giving me some blanks I blanked the faulty egr and left the working one alone.
I then drove 125 miles to Inverness up the A93 and A939 for a laugh as I couldn't stand the dreaded 2 hours of average speed cameras again. The car is perfect I got 32mpg going up some pretty steep hills and I wasn't hanging around.
Again thanks to everyone for there suggestions and offers of help and thanks to disco Mikey.
