Hello all just joined site, just bought a Discovery 3 2.7 V6 TD on a 2007 plate. It has already had the EGR blanking done and worked ok for a few weeks.
However today on accelerating hard, auto gear box kicks down and it goes into limp mode, lower suspension, lights on on dash etc. I stop switch off and ready to go again
with no issues. I read a few posts about the Break switch ( new one on order) rear break bulbs ( also on order) the cable joint under carpet need to look at, and to check the turbo actuator
not yet done, also read about MAP sensor issue.
I will be starting the problem solving tomorrow, but wanted some feedback, this only happens when car moving, if I rev up engine on stop then no issue, does not go into
limp mode.
Any ideas on why it only happens when car under load moving.
The steps I was going to try :
1. Change rear bulbs.
2. Change Break Switch.
3. Clean MAP sensor if dirty.
4. Check red wires joint under carpet.
5. check turbo actuator moving.
6. check for splits in turbo pipes.
Any other ideas or pointers would be most welcome, this is currently a pain when trying to overtake, very dangerous.
I am borrowing a friends Icarsoft scanning tool to see what codes come up.
Cheers Glenn
