    Disco 3 TDV6 Hates towing

    After a long lock down and a lot of impediments to travel we finally got in a short 600 km test drive. Prior to this we have blocked off the EGR and replaced both the MAF and MAP sensors. In 600 km we climbed several hills with no problem but on 16 occasions we got the message on the screen...

    My 2006 Discovery TDV6 SE is the best of many cars I have had but it hates towing.
