I'm glad it was so simple as that. Bite the bullet and buy a genuine LR MAF then the vehicle will behave the best, if it seems too expensive to you get a Siemens/VDO one not other aftermarket cos for the 15P is way too important, better without...
Hi guys, wasn't going to post until Monday to be sure but I am sure so will post.
I disconnected the Maf meter and have done a load of running about.
So, there's literally no smoke now unless I boot it and then you do get some black smoke but no...
I get it guys :D
Just need to try what's been advised and if that doesn't sort it i may have to do a bit of begging on here to see whose local to me with a nonocom

We are both singing from the same hymn sheet:
I expect he'll get it now.
Hopefully he'll be able to find a member nearby with a Nanocom a Foxwell or similar so he can get live data.
But he needs to do it, as you say, before getting back to...
For that the owner must be 100% certain that everything is faultless on the engine... which(i hate to repeat myself) would be almost impossible without a proper diagnostic session unless there is something obvious like a visible boost leak or MAF...
Anlaby road? small world. He's on Delapole ave.
Sutton? Better then!
Isopropanol will be better as that will leave less deposit, brake cleaner is too agresssive, but sensor cleaner isn't hard to get hold of.
Don't forget to not poke anything at...
I was born Anlaby road and grew up Endike lane/Calvert lane, im in Sutton now.
It is a 15p engine as it says on the V5
I was going to use isopropanol alchohol or brake cleaner to clean them both.
Hope these are ok yo use?
Andy
So not reallty a "Stage 1" then?!
But good advice, if he rings them as he says he might, then they might be able to tell him. Who knows, they might retune it for not much dosh.
You need to use proper sensor cleaner not just any other cleaner which will leave a coat of stuff on that you don't want. This may well not cure your MAP sensor, it didn't work for mine. But I have a Foxwell which, with @sierrafery 's help I was...
I have had a bit of a look on the net and diregarding their own site they do actually seem to be a decent company. That is if they were the actual tuners. Any paperwork to prove it? You could ring them and ask them if they actually did work on...
If it's not better with MAF unplugged, connect it back and unplug the airbox sensor for test then connect this back and unplug the MAP ... with one of these unplugged it shoud have less power and less smoke as well unless there's a boost leak...
Hi, seems that your engine is seriously overfuelled which comes with very high EGT and that's a killer on a long run so fix it ASAP... the best would be to plug in a nanocom or similar for live data but if you dont have access to it first of all...
They are but they'll still provide an "aggresive smoke" map if a customer asks.
Definitely check what fery suggests first but there is a chance a previous owner asked for it.
I do have paperwork to prove it was them, and there was a sticker form them on the car too which i removed.
I will follow Sierrafery's suggestions and if unsuccessful will contact Empire tuning.
Thanks for the reply Stanleysteame, i've been...
As far as i am aware Empire tuning is a reputable company?
Siarrafery, i will try all your suggestions and see if any of them make a difference, thanks for your constructive suggestions.
Andy
Many thanks for your reply sierrafery,
I will unplug the MAF sensor and run it on my way home and see if it's any better.
If not i will check the hoses for splits or delamination.
I believe it's Empire tuning.
Andy
Morning all,
I have a new to me 2004 Discovery TD5 manual,
It's had a stage 1 remap and had the cat and EGR valve removed.
My question/issue is when under any any acceleration it kicks out loads of black smoke and under heavy acceleration i you...
I used to replace with genuine LR sensors, but they don’t last any better than aftermarket ones. Jack it up so the axle is hanging then disconnect the battery before you do anything and it should be fine. LR would tell you it needs connected to...
Hi if you happy you dont have any rust after removing the front cowl, check the grommet were the wikring loom goes through mine looke Ok but were loss and needed a reseal
Mine had holes high and low...
The low one was easy enough, but the top one was right where the bulkhead met the inner wing.
Managed to weld it up, but was so relieved to be finished I forgot to take pictures.
Relieved as in, loads of smoke...
Got round to fitting the bias plate on Monday which went quite easily to be honest, only had to remove the first plate and had easy access to replace the plate which had snapped completely off.
I can get all gears nicely now without guessing...
Replaced the gear stick centering plate and springs, i can now select 3rd and 4th with ease.
Also replaced the rubber bung that caps off the pipe that's under the turbo with a nice new silicone one so no mere weeping coolant.
Andy
Morning all,
My new to me Discovery 2 has water coming in at the top right and is wetting the headliner and dripping onto my right leg when it rains.
It also has a tiny bit of rust all the way along the top of the windscreen rubber.
- Firstly...
