Thread: Fixed me Black smoke and other things

Good Job.

Which rotors and pads?
I found the DAB, even normal ones were more than OEMs.

Got em of fleabay , Obviously have to have right and left discs if slotted , far superior with the Kevlar Pads than the OEM stuff , lets see how long they last !!!

Can you tell me what year your car is?

Am interested in the EGR block off you mention.

Are silicon hoses an option for the TDV6, I know the TD5 had a common problem with de-laminating, but yours is a split..



Cheers Ean

Mine was suffering the same lack of power and black smoke, took it to the mechanic and they advised me of the exact same problem with the intercooler hose. Now fixed, runs like new again.

Hi Ean, I see your D3 is an 08 model so unfortunately you cannot blank off the EGR valves as it will bring up an error. 05 / 06 models you can no problems.
Re the silicon hoses:
Discovery 3 & RangeRover Sport 2.7L TDV6 silicone inlet manifold intercooler hose | Diesel performance tuning and economy remap chip tuning for Landrover Defender Discovery TD5 Puma TDV6 TDV8

Quite common on tdv6, was out the bush with one that travelled 70k total that had the same, poor mileage, lack of power

Had one go on my defender a couple of years ago, in the middle of no were. A beer can cut diagonally to form a spring, then wrap it around the pipe followed by wire then force tape, Got me home no smoke and full power ( if there is such a thing in a defender )

Yes mine was a 2005 TDV6 , so No error messages after fitting the BAS EGR Blockoff done 160000K . Wish Id just did the hose first and taken it for a spin to see the difference . Its now 2 car lenghths faster to 100K than the mates 2009 TDV6 . I pulled the Butterfly out of the inlet tract , cleaned out the muck in the Y - piiece and the hardest job was flushing the aftercooler . All worth it ,goes so much bette, ill see how the Fuel consumption goes with a quick spin to Newman and back 2500K tomorrow.
