My 98 Disco just doesn't seem to have the power that it should... It's sluggish going up hills and on the highway. Any thoughts? Thanks! | ||

Lots of stuff can be cause of it. Plug, wires, clogged air filter, clogged oil filter, clogged fuel filter. Leaks? Holes in exhaust, clogged exhaust.. Slipping belt..Bad fuel.. I think more experienced folkz will be able to extend such list  | ||

Don't forget the Cats. The will cause it to be sluggish.... Of course if the Disco is new to you, then it just might be normal....Disco's are not sports cars by a long shot. | ||

our 3.9 was so under powered that i hated it. i had to manually drop gears with the shifter. floor it and even still it lack the power needed. new tune up and the rest of it i found out that once i adjusted the transmission kick down things would be better. it shifted harded accecelaterated way better and even dropped in to passing gear when needed. who would of guessed. i even noticed that the throttel cable was a bit streached. once i fixed this i am now laughing unstead of cursing this underpowered rover. seriously adjust your kick down and i bet it will go. there is an archive on this adjustment. as it was recent. | ||

I definetly have an exhaust leak on my 97. Whenever I accelerate I can hear it. It sounds like pressurized air leaking at about 5 bursts a second.••••••• ideas how to isolate it and fix? -ROB |
