Wonder if anyone can help?

Friend of mine has a 300TDI that refuses to run above 3000 RPM. It's got me stumped and I thought I'd ask here - its a Disco 1 BTW
 
Mine would rev to 3k then lose all power, turned out to be a bad air filter, take the filter out and give it a run. Worth a try and easy fix. Are the turbo hoses full of oil?
 
No probs, good look. I was amazed the difference it made. If the filters blocked it causes a vacuum and draws oil up from the sump.
