The history:
My Disco 2.7 V6 from 2008 has always been my pride and joy. But the last months, I felt like it was lacking some power when in lower revs.
I've managed to avoid those issues by pulling it in sport mode and downshift to compesate for the loss of power. When in third or higher, there is no problem. Still lost of torque and speed. The problem only appears when I have to come to a full stop and pull up again.
Flooring it doesn't help. Only after a few seconds that the engine pics up and revs up.
I've allready changed the autobox sump, filter and oil, the fuel filter, oil filter and oil, glow plugs (where all shot) and still the problem persists. (Last year I've also cleaned the egr's)
I'm thinking clogged up injectors now...? Shot injector motors?
Anyone has the same problem?
Getting a bit tired and frustrated, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy

Sounds like the EGRs to me.
You will need the codes read to be sure.
I have had similar twice.
Replaced them the first time, blanked and mapped out the second

Not sure if the symptoms are the same as before...
Can’t blank them anyway on a 2008 if I’m correct.
Very strange thing happened today... every time I put it in reverse the side mirrors start facing down.
Put it in drive and they go back to previous position.

With regards the mirrors dipping when reversing, the extent that they dip is adjustable and the reason they do so is so that on reversing you can see where the rear wheels are relative to the kerb.
It should be noted the setting for the dipping mirrors is associated with the key that is being used. This is also the case for memory seats. So if there are two drivers they can each have a dedicated key and the mirrors and seat will automatically adjusted to their stored settings.

Ok, thx for that.
Never happened before. Probably due to the fact that the battery was disconnected for some time when I was working on it?
So I just reajust the mirrors and it should be fine?

Is it possible to use emulator cables on the egr's assuming that is the problem?
Disco is very hard to start with cold motor, smokes heavily and when in low revs no power. After a fw minutes it regains power and runs as new. When I make a full stop it all starts again.

Pete Bell from BAS has a patch to effectively map them out of the ECU so you can blank them without th EML light coming on
