Hi.
I have a 1997 land Rover discovery 300tdi that loses power and the rev counter isn't working and the temperature gauge doesn't work properly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you tried fixing it?

300tdi is pretty bomb proof. Ask in the relevant sections if you are stuck.

Hi there and welcome! I shouldn't worry, sounds like it's behaving like a proper land rover

Hi and welcome.

The lack of power could be one of several things. A sooted up EGR, a failing fuel lift pump, failing turbo hoses, old fuel filter, sticking brakes...

The rev counter will likely be a loose or disconnected wire on the back of the alternator.

The temp guage could be an earth issue, dodgy temp sender...
