After some tests with some remaps, with and without EGR assembly on a Disco SII TD5, I have take off finally the valve (Eu2). While it is far more smooth with the EGR fitted, the response, performance and fuel economy are better without.
Had the windscreen replaced earlier in the week. Today replaced the lift pump. All was going well till I ripped the gasket. Made up a new one with some Manila folder. All good now, no leaks of anything. Just need to sort some tyres and it's ready for roadworthy.

Did a service - oil / filters / lube job. I knew things were going to go pear shape when it takes you 20minutes to get the spinon oil filter on. Was tightening up the bolts for the rotor filter when I stripped the threads on one of the bolts. Could not believe it - it did not even begin to feel like it was tightning when it occured. For once I had the correct tap for the job but lucky for me the bolt hole had threads deeper down - found a bolt of correct size and threads and put it back together - happy days.
Yep I know the feeling. tightening mine the other day and being aware of the problem I was being very careful.
I could feel the thread starting to go but it was tight enough, giving me warning for next service so I can be prepared.
And what did I do on it today. I gave it a good wash and then sat back and admired it after its 50.8 mm lift.
I like my D1 but I am in love with my D2(Dr Phil, I think I need help)

I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

Pulled the rear door card off so I could open the rear door to get my tools out to pull the rocker cover on solutionxs Td5 D2 to clean up the injector plugs as it was running rough.
