Does anyone elses D1 do this. Upon cranking to start, my disco starts immediately however it seems to 'diesel' (like when you turn off some cars and they keep chugging)for a quick second or two then goes into clean idle. Very strange to me but maybe it's not getting enough gas at the beginning. Any thoughts from the gurus? John | ||

My D1 does something simalar.. it starts revs drop to about 500 then it goes back up to 1200 revs until it is warm.... I dont know why yet but I am going to have the dealer take a look at the next service. | ||

maybe one of your plugs isn't firing at first? How do the plugs look? | ||

Plugs are fine. It's been doing it for about 15000 miles now...through two plug changes. I'm not too concerned about it just thought I would see if other D1's do it. James, mine starts right up and idles evenly but its the clunk, dieseling for a second that confuses me. | ||

You mean a really rough idle for a few moments then its fine? in my experience that happens incars with hydraulic tappets when left for a period of time, and the oil drains out. Noticed it on both my wifes Volvo and my Disco... | ||

Mine does it too, usually if i give it a little gas it smooths out. i've noticed it happens when only leaving it off for a few mins as opposed to overnight.••••• ideas? |
