had my disco for about a year now and it was bought as a bit of a fixer upper. after a lifetime of welding it was pressed into service but what a disapointment its been. ive had a few 200's and the missus has had a few 300's last one being an auto - which was much quicker than my current one. i was towing approx 2 ton earlier in the week and i couldnt get over 30mph? 60 unladen is my best so far!
i have been messing as i had no service with the truck. so ive fitted a new cambelt kit and found the camshaft was a tooth out! and ive done the pump tweek which resulted in approx 13mpg! oh im getting 22mpg atm? (manual btw) but i seem to have a washer missing out of the pump if that threads correct?
my first 200 drove like this and it was a split in the bottom intercooler hose - so i checked mine over for splits and delamination and i cant see any marks or damage? ive read about wastegates sticking or splitting but i cant see if mine works or not? should you be able to get it moving just by revving the throttle and watiching the gate open and close? (i have been able to move it with a prybar) or does it only work under load? any ideas chaps?
