Thankyou for the reply, I agree with what your saying but even in sport mode it does the same thing

I have a problem with my Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5, it's a 1999 reg, automatic. It struggles to go though the gears, e.g when putting foot to the ground on accelerator, it stays in gear to for a while and doesn't like to change, but when driven 'sensibly' it goes through the gears sweet. I...

I'll give that a try, sorry didn't understand what you meant I'll give that a go

I've drove it without the maf connected still nothing... I'm running out of options, just a question would oil in the ecu (red plug cause this)

The intercooler looos ok no signs of ballooning etc, also the turbo spindle has a slight bit of play in the bearing but nothing to stop turbo from working, it's like the air pressure is eascaping else where before getting to the turbo

I checked it with the meter getting the voltage for each pin engine off and ignition on... and today I have changed the transmission filter and oil?.

Basically when I put my foot down to the floor it sounds like there is no power going to the turbo at all and air is being lost... basically a large humming, rumbling noise when flooring the pedal

They said that they shouldn't need doing and they'll be on, last time they was done was 2012 brand new injectors cost around £1500

O ok I'll probably do the injectors first, I'm worried I'll get it wrong and then it cost a lot of money to sort, that's why I never tried to do them before

How would I check the fuel pressure?

I had ordered the injector washers and o rings and was adviced not to do it but a Land Rover garage as he said they're ok? Also the fuel filter I haven't changed so will deffo get that done? Is that difficult to change myself? And where is the FPR located?

It seems to run ok ish but then again there is a issue to starting the car in the morning, i.e. Takes about 8-15 seconds to fire up

Ok, thankyou for your help, a nanocom is my best option as I've checked every area I can relate to and can't find anything

Wow not cheap then, that's my best hope to see if a local mechanic has one... would other diagnostic tools work?

I don't have access to a diagnostic, is it worth me getting one?
