On my 10plate 2.4 I had a similar issue and it was the MAF, quite cheap and easy fix, about £60 if I recall. Defender 2 should confirm and tell you how to test.

Our old disco developed a misfire due to oil in the injector loom.

So changed the fuel filter, great improvement. It was like driving a different car.

But after a few days it appears to be loosing power. ... good old LR!

If you want to go into the jungle take a Land Rover.
If you want to get out of the jungle take a Land Cruiser.

I know a few people with Landys and mostly they are fixing them!

Apparently a very common fault according to the Disco lot.

That might suggest contaminated fuel, your old filter got clogged, causing rough running / fuel starvation. Fuel filter replaced, runs fine until that filter becomes contaminated over a short period of time.
