Let me google that for you

or

www.discovery2.co.uk /workshop - EGR removal

Pretty easy job ... even for me

Cheers

Bummer, Looks like I should have asked my question before I bought the blanking plate.
What I should have bought was the whole kit with the metal pipe and the plate.
Have to get back on the web. May try Roverlord first.
Thank you everyone for your guidance once again.
Regards Nick.

Make sure u get the right kit. D2a 03/04 requires 3 blanking plate. Pre 2003 requires only one. There is detailed instruction in alivetuning web site.

The single blanking plate is designed for a "stealth" deEGR. You put the blanking plate between the exhaust manifold and the EGR pipework that runs across the front of the engine. This stops exhaust gases entering the EGR system, which is the main point of the deEGR.

You'd probably want to give the EGR valve itself a good clean out to remove gunk, and then disconnect the wiring harness from the EGR Modulator which stops the valve operating.

That will give you the same effect as installing the deEGR pipework but possibly with marginally reduced airflow vs a plain pipe however I doubt this will make any significant difference.

If you deEGR this way it is simple to reinstate to an operational system if you get pinged on it when selling the vehicle.

Thanks Offtrack, that seems to make a lot of sense. That is the way to go I feel.

Not that it affects me, but can the valve be removed in the stealth setup?

From the pics on UP's site it looks like the valve is in the bottom of the pipe assembly and is closed to prevent entry of the exhaust gases. The only thing you could do that might be worthwhile is remove the rod between the vacuum unit and the valve, but then you'd have to start blocking holes. I don't know if it would make any real difference.
