i am having some problems with my disco
i was dringin bk home tonight when my disco seems to be very low on power and when coming to a stop it wants to stall and sometimes does,
when pulling away i can put foot to the floor and it wont want to move quick, there is no smoke coming out to the exhaust,but what i have noticed is that when i am driving it something seems to be like holding it back like the handbrake it on not all the time just every now and then feels like it

my thoughts might be that i might change fuel filter, or lift pump,

could anyone share some light on my problem? thanks goz
 
Your thoughts are where I'd start....is yours a Tdi?

Fuel filter and checking sedimentor (if you have one fitted) are standard service stuff anyway. Everyone seems to have to buy 2 or 3 lift pumps before they find one that works these days so if you fit a new one and the problem persists don't assume it's something else, check you have a good, healthy flow to the filter.

Might also be worth checking pick up pipe gauze (do discos have them?) and fuel line and leak off pipe although problems there usually only case problems under sustained revs and recover on low rpm
