Sounds like a grand idea. Is this an easy job (I'm a newby with Disco and only a 3spanner mechanic)? I'd rather leave it alone than start a saga. Are there any "cons" to this?Quote:

Just plug the vacuum line to the EGR valve.
Only good can come from this mod! (Apart from the emissions)
Be careful removing the hex key bolts from the exh manifold, been know to sheer off.

IMO the EGR is good for emissions only when it's new, let's say up to 50.000km of a car's life...then it will start missbehaveing and the emissions are even worst with a not perfectly working one, beside the fact that it fills the inlet and the engine with muck... bypassing it is a win-win situation in a temperate or hot climate... it can have some pro's only in arctic regions to reduce consumption when it's extremely cold outside that's all.
Ok well egr is bypassed, scored a cdl lever out of a later model wreck so I now have 4wd. Nozzle washers and o rings on the injectors fixed my sudden cold start miss and rapidly rising oil level, done over 1000 ks since replacing. Still waiting on more funds for the engine mounts and to do the head.
Scored a set of rims and was wondering what's the highest profil tyre you can fit on a standard coil sprung disco 2 without to much rubbing off road.
Also i have a couple of bits of body trim that need re sticking on, they are still attached but have lifted on the ends. Thinking of a hot air gun to flatten re shape and then sticking back on, any advice on removal and refitting.
Cheers Roger
