Well.. I've lost power on my Disco
I think I know what the problem is, but just wanted another opinion to confirm this..
On my 200, there's a elbow hose off the turbo that goes back to IC, as there was a split on that hose, I ordered some new rubber hoses and fitted them.
They were a real pain to fit as they are hard has fok and to slide them in took me ages!!
So, I've fitted that elbow hose and the top hose from the top of IC to engine.
Since doing this I've lost power.
A hill near where I live that I would previously do easily in 3rd gear, yesterday I struggled to go up in 2nd!!
I tighten up the jubilee clips around the hoses quite a bit, but am I right in thinking that this loss of power is probably due to a leak somewhere where I've been playing?
Is there a way I can check if there's a leak?
I must be sure that this is all quite tight as I really dont want the turbo to be sucking in water when I go wading
cheers
