I've had my 'new' (well, 18 year old 130k mile) Discovery 200Tdi for a few weeks now. One of the annoying niggles is when I completely lift off or start applying the throttle again unless I'm very gentle the engine will either suddenly cut fuel or lurch forward respectively.

It seems as if 5% of the throttle travel controls 50% of the power. Once past the 5% its easy to regulate the throttle without causing a jolt.

Assuming that makes sense, any ideas? I've encountered this on a few fuel injected cars and bikes but it's very noticeable on the Discovery.

Cheers :)
