Ah good, somebody else noticed. Big Lollopy was quite pronounced at 1800 revs, but Jugs, not so much. Don't know if it is a fault or, as you say, a characteristic.
Any idea whats up with my discovery 200 . On the first start only ( which is fine starting ) it misfires/ feels like when you've left a cold start on. It also chuggs out a lot of white smoke and smells really acrid. Its only on the first start and goes away after being driven a while.. im no mechanic and dont know one either. Limited tools and garages here are useless and will charge me millions just for opening the bonnet.. any ideas ?? thanks x
Any white smoke that is not ordinary condensation is bad news. Before you start the car, open the bonnet and release the expansion tank cap. If it makes a sushing sound like a shaken bottle of fizzy drink, and the coolant suddenly appears in the bottom, it's probably the head gasket or a cracked head. Does the coolant level go down? A cracked head will pressurize the coolant system and blow the coolant out through the overflow. Any coolant in the oil? Usually another bad sign. Is this a recent thing or has it been happening a while? Best I can think of I'm afraid. Good Luck.
My disco won't start after running out of fuel. I've filled up but it's not starting only trying to, could you help? Is there something I need to do to reset it or something? Its a Discovery 2 TD5, cheers
From what I have just read, turn the ignition on, wait for the pump to stop, turn the ignition on again, pump the throttle pedal 5 times. The pump should run for about two minutes. Turn off, turn back on and crank the engine with the pedal floored. It should catch and fire up. If not, repeat. Basically, you have to get the air out of the system and the pump will do that when it's running. I suggest changing the fuel filter then and popping some fuel treatment stuff in to get rid of the crap. Good luck!
You can disconnect the battery if you like. I never did. I was careful not to touch the terminals though. The ignition must be off. It is only the red plug that gets the oil in.
thanks for the reply friend. I'm from Belem-Amazonia-Brazil. i had a d2 td5 in 2013 and did this procedure. I was a little more daring and opened the control unit to clean. she was totally honeyed inside. then I sealed the edges with a 3m glue and it was good! that d2 I sold in 2015, but this month I'm going to get another one in São Paulo. I'm looking at your videos and remembering many things that I also fixed in mine. Congratulations on the tutorials. Health to you and your family.
Mine does as you say at 1800 revs, always wondered if a fault or a characteristic. Both have done it

@@sleepycatpictures1176 thankyou, I will try that. much appreciated 👍
What loom did you replace? The loom with the red plug that goes into the ECU or the injector loom?
The injector loom. when oil gets to the red plug, it takes ages to clear once the loom has been replaced.
Please, Is not necessary before unplugged battery ?
