MrKev Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I find that when starting from cold, my Discovery 300TDi seems to lack power compared to when warm. I live at the bottom of a hill, and first thing, going from 1st to 2nd gear produces a dissapointing amount of pull up the hill, whereas if the engine is warm it's fine. Also, when cruising (engine warm), and especially when towing, there seems to be some reluctance to accelerate through 3000 rpm. It does, just not so smoothly as it does through the rest of the range. Having a look through the forum, it seems that likely candidates for these symptoms are lift pump & sedimenter / filter. Any thoughts? Am I expecting too much, barking up the right tree, or along the right lines? Is it more likely to be one that the other?

BogMonster Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Tdis are pigs when cold at the best of times so I would say probably normal. Autos are especially bad on the non-EDC vehicles - I once had to change into low range to do a modest hill start in one we used to have at work, it was so gutless!
