2007 Discovery 3 3.0 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Manual Barolo Black

Disco has flat spot on accelration

Hi all
Ok Disco 3 good as gold, just recently its had a flat spot or stutter around 2000 rpm, I thought it was my rigger boots heavy peddling to start with!!
Ok so on the move in pretty much any gear but notice more in 1st or 2nd and about 2000 rpm it sort of pauses or flat spots as if the power has been shut off (similar to limp I guess) then carries on after a second as normal. Does not happen all that often but once yesterday ond twice today. Never goes into limp mode or anything and the rest seems fine.
Could it be a duff diesl fill? As far as I recall its only been on this tank.
Any thoughts / ideas much appreciated
Cheers

I cured the same issue by blanking my EGR's.

I thought it was a long shot, but for a fiver and an hour of my time it would be another job done even if it didn't work.

Turbo actuator sticking! It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Stornoway Grey

Egr's blanked and a remap

I noticed mine especially pulling away from junctions/roundabouts

After Disco Mikey worked his magic doing the above all is good again
And don't have to worry about egr's failing later in life

Would be worth getting yer tea leaves/fault codes read as that should take a lot of the guesswork/parts roulette out of it.

Update

Update to all just in case it helps others. Tea leaves revealed nothing, self test of open and closing of valves also seemed fine.

Just did a 600 mile round bash to Devon and back and it did not blip once so possivble it was sooted up after a lot of short drives and a good slog (I got as well 37.1 mpg!!!) may have cleaned the old tubes??

Some serious off roading as well, such a hoot...

Cheers all for the help and advice.
