Black Smoke from Exhaust and loss of power
HI Can anyone point out what could be the issue with my Disco3, only just recently I noticed that when I move off, there is a noticeable loss of power, but the car then does pick up speed but very slowly, and its just not responsive as it used to be. I have also noticed that there is a hell of a lot of black smoke coming from exhaust pipe. could this be Air Filter, maybe a service is required, or I am fearing something a lot more serious.

Search the forum for "Intercooler hose" and "Black smoke" - that will give you something to read.
If you can't find a split in any of the intercooler hoses you will need to get the codes read.
If buying a new hose, or set, I suggest you go for silicone not Bog standard JLR.

If no split in the hoses, mainly the big one look for an oil patch on the inter cooler itself as that may be split or burst. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
Got the same problem changed the hoses not change so shiny new intercooler on way as I found oil spray on some of the pipes
