Hi there, please forgive any mistakes but I am a newbie with a bit of a Landie problem.
I have a Discovery TD5 1999.
Yesterday, I was towing a trailer and noticed a problem when going uphill. I was travelling at about 50mph when I wanted to overtake a tractor in the inside lane. I put my foot down but instead of changing down a gear, the engine just seemed to rev and lose power over and over, when I take my foot off the throttle it all calms down but it's a bit unnerving thinking that you might not be able to accelerate out of trouble if you need to.
Some people have suggested it's the diesel filter and someone else said it's to do with the air intake?? I thought I would come on here and get some "expert " advice!!
