When I bought my disco it had done 113k, it's a 1997 R reg 300tdi. I bought it, put some offroad tyres on it and went to a play day... where I got stuck in some water without a snorkel, result; hydrolock
After much investigation I had bent a rod. So I changed the bent rod, using the original shells and it starts and runs fine. Ive done 3k miles since doing this with no problems or any dreaded 'knock' from the crank (which I thought I would get) so good so far
Since this mishap the engine seems reluctant to rev past approx 3200rpm whilst on the road (in high box). There's plenty of power available upto these revs on the road and revs fine whilst in low box. But... It just doesn't want to rev like it did before on the road. I.E up a steep hill in 2nd or 3rd.
Things ive checked and done: Full service, all filters, new oil (twice), cleaned sedimentor. New gearbox/transferbox oil and diff oils. One of the injectors was knackered so changed (just the one).
Could the other injectors not be 100%? Causing it not rev properly? It's as if it wants to go, like hitting flat spots through the rev range after 3200rpm.
I can live with it but it's just doing my nut knowing it's not spot on
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dave.
