Do you have any way to do a pressured smoke test?
From memory that was the error that that 2.0 Disco 5 had that I kept for about a week then sent back to the dealer. Something about a mismatch between manifold pressure and the air coming into it. The local indie hooked it up to a Strap-On smoke machine and pressurised it, result was chuffing smoke from somewhere under the inlet manifold - would have been impossible to see without removing the engine from the car, but definitely there. My symptoms were that the car stuttered and stumbled at low rpm/load situations, like if parked at a set of lights and just rolling away when they turned green, say 25% throttle. Or when pottering through a 30 limit. If you gave it a shoe full it behaved normally. |

It's another RRS , I wasn't fussy on either model but was particular regarding service history & mileage paid my indi to travel over & inspect this one " you won't find a better one" were his words the seller took mine in part payment which was handy so did the deal yesterday, going in next week for a thorough health check, but I'm not expecting any issues, it's very fast compared to the TDV8 which wasn't a slouch by any means.👍 Sounds like you've found a really nice one! Look forward to seeing some pics, once its washed and polished to your exacting standards obviously ![]() |

I always get pulled in scanners for a possible metalic object in my thigh, so get the pat down routine. Not, AFAIK, there is no metal in my thigh, and their handheld scanners done see it.You can always hope ![]() |

Having a similar conversation on a W221 forum from someone who swapped their perfectly good incandescent bulbs for cheap Chinesium shyte and wondered why they flickerThe LED tail light mounted on the boot lid is playing up. If it works at all, it just flickers.If it had bulbs, the previous owners would have swapped them out for LEDs anyway, becoz itz wicked, innit. If it had LED bulbs I could just replace them, but this thing has LED strips built into the light unit. Hence the price...... ![]() I shall tinker with it for a while. ![]() |
