Disco Tranny Question

I have a 2001 Disco. I took her off road this weekend and on the way home I
noticed the engine was reving pretty high. At least I think it is, could be
my imagination. Anyway, I was hoping some of you can help me out.

When I'm doing 50, the RPM's are at 2750. At 65-70 it runs about 3500 RPM.
When I let off the gas at high speed, the RPM's do not drop down, the engine
slows down the car. Is this normal? I can't remember if it was like this
before taking it off road, probably because I was paying close attention on
the way home for anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks, everyone.

Jamie

Thats a Disco II isn't it? Diesel or petrol, manual or auto?

My DII TD5 Manual does about 2300rpm at 100kph (62mph).

How disappointing. I thought this was going to be a thread about
cross-dressing men in night clubs.

I get the impression it's an auto?
If so, try this. Select 1, pull away to about 15-20mph, select 2 and note
that the gearchange occurs, accelerate to 45ish and select 3, again note
that the gearchange does happen, accelerate to 65ish and select D and
observe for change up into 4th. Sounds as if it's sticking in 3 anbd not
going into 4th, road test as above will confirm. if this is the case, get it
onto testbook/rovacom/autologic diagnostics and check for gearbox fault
codes.

Low ratio?

But seriously if auto it could well not be changing out of 3rd.

In LR and 5th I don't think I could get to 40mph before the governer
kicked in, let alone 50 or 67-70! And I wouldn't want to go that fast
in LR anyway...

Without furtherinfo about the car we are stuffed.
