Bugamedisco

Many thanks, great help to help understanding. Your a good bunch. Kev

Thank you all for your time to reply. Firstly, I must say, This is my first Disco which is now well needed for health reasons, I.E at least i can get in and out of. Bought from a close friend who's history of looking after motors is NIL, drop of oil and water when needed and thats it. He had it for 8 years, I took it off him just before Xmas last with genuin 106k on the clock. Low mileage and quite clean through out. OK, Oil change (engine) Fuel filter, Air filter, Rocker cover gasget, New su and drive shaft, new swivel ball and top pin and bearings. While changing the air filter i noticed the front pipe from the manifold had gone below its joint, Got it changed. 3 Days later, drove it and found it to be very sluggish and felt as though the Turbo wasn't kicking in. Then suddenly a pop and very low pulling power. Under the bonnet i noticed the hose from the intercooler to the air intake had blown off. Thinking about it, there must be quite some preasure there as it's coming from the turbo, There was only a smear of oil inside the pipe and on the intake, so thats been cleaned and the Jub clip done up tighter. The thing is, just how much preasure is at the air intake and surely and excess would be thrown via the wastegate, wouldn't it? I would like to understand more about the workings, bit of a jump up from petrol motors all my life. Many thanks in advance. Kev

Hi all. New here today. After searching the net for a good forum I found you all. History: K reg Disco 200tdi. It was my friends for over 7 years and he promised me first refusal, which i jumped to in Nov last year 2013. I had driven the motor many times when he had it, so knew some of its faults, well, 20 year old Landy has to have a fault or two. Ive had some work done on the old girl, but now my top air intake hose is blowing off due to preasure. Ive today cleaned off any oil from the air intake and the inside of the hose and tightened it as much as poss. Should this amount of preasure be there? Also, ive noticed that I'm not getting the boost from the turbo that i was getting before i changed the air filter and had the exhaust repaired. Can anyone help please? Many thanks in advance.
