This will be long but I thought it would be best instead of going back and forth, I’ve recently bought a discovery 2 td5 from an insurance write off auction with no paper work, it’s auto with 213k on the clock in immaculate condition it even had 5 Brand new tires on it, It’s just passed a genuine mot with no advisories, chassis solid, when I got it delivered it was in limp mode with the m&s lights flashing due to needing a new xyz switch, that was replaced it had the gear box serviced and a full engine service.
im hoping to turn this d2 into a mobile detailing set up and I’m looking for any advice on other things I should do before I kit it out an load it with 250kg, is it possible for an exhaust back box to reduce power? some days it drives like a dream but most of the time it’s rough and loud between 1900rpm and 2100rpm, maybe engine Mount? on occasion when pulling away the revs will got to 1200-1300rmp before it moves, it’s like something is getting blocked it’s had a EGR delete. It also slightly smokes when in reverse slight burning smell too, with having no paper work or a previous owner to speak to im unsure of where to start, by the time I drive it to a local LR specialists a few miles from me it’s already been cleared out on the run there, the only thing a nanocom picked up was a shuttle valve problem, no local garages near me will touch it, thanks for taking the time to read the paragraphs haha
