thanks Kurt think you might have solved the disco too! foot down it jerks as if fuel starvation, checked and been a while since the filter was changed cheaper than pump under the floor!!


did have warrior, but crossed over to disco 2.

I also dropped a bottle of Forte in after the filter Paul, it made some difference with the engine running temp too.

when doing the filter on my classic I always bunged half a bottle of this stuff in the filter ----------> Werbung: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Forte-Advance...rMAAOSwDftblVjo before filling the rest of the filter up with fresh diesel
then a good italian tune up (plenty of revs) and you get a tonne of black stuff out the exhaust. Incidentally , just done a service on my old classic on saturday and did exactly this.Then bunged the rest of the bottle into the tank.

Nope , no resistor needed , just make sure you block up the now redundant vacuum pipe
