I've got a 3.9 V8 1997 Disco, which has started backfiring and showing very uneven power when accelerating or going up hills. It's been back to the garage four times now, who have cleaned and then replaced the sparkplugs, and put new injectors in. They've now increased the fuel going into the engine, which has ensured the power loss is less pronounced, but not solved the problem. There's also a faint smell of burning oil.
When it gets really bad, the car starts juddering as though you're in too high a gear, then eventually loses all power. The garage cleans the plugs, and it's OK for another week or two before deteriorating.
We're in Burundi, and have already tried the only decent garage in town, so now out of options. Any ideas?
thanks,
dave
