I'm looking for some information on this engine which is fitted in my S Type Jag and Discovery 3's
The symptoms are that the car's suffering from a flat spot when under load and there's a fair bit of smoke coming out the back at the same time.
It then clears itself and drives normally. This morning it really struggled all the way through a 10 mile journey to work. Every time I came to a junction, it really struggled to pick itself up, let some smoke go then cleared itself and would run on until the next time I slowed down.
When I first started it this morning the weather was cold and the engine was hunting a bit. On the way home tonight, it struggled a bit to begin with but after quarter of a mile, it cleared itself and ran all the way home without any problem.
Before I try the Jag forums, I'm hoping someone on this forum may have had a similar problem with their D3 with the same engine and can shed some light on it Any ideas would be appreciated.
