Hy'all,

I have recently purchased a Discovery 2? 1998300TDI SE auto.
When driving along at any speed, when I lift my foot off of the throttle, the engine appears to die or revs suddenly drop off and the check engine warning light appears simultanesly. As soon as I increase the revs the engine picks up again and the warning light dissapears.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what this problem is?

Thanks!

Sorry, you probably won't get a reply from us, none of us are lucky enough to have a diesel.
Wish we could help.

 

UrbanPanzer is your best bet. He has an '01 TD5.

 

You have a DI. Change the fuel filter and then have the injector pump looked at. It sounds like a fuel delivery problem.

 

I have the same Discovery and i have the same problem. landrover told me it might be the injector with the electronic sensor inside or the crankshaft positioning sensor. i am going to exchange and hoping it will work if you have allready solved the problem please let me know how.
