my 96 disco has dropped it's idle to 500-750 only... what is the regular idle rate? I've noticed a drastic change in power as well and my transmission seems to shift erratically now. I have a flowmaster exhaust and it is a lot quieter... seems almost like the engine is struggling for power...

andrew,

could be a few different things. i would test (or have tested) your alternator and fuel pump. failures of either could give you these symptoms.
cheers,
carl

Check your spark plugs and cables, mine did the exact same thing, low idle, low power and all around poor performance.
