i am new here and i have a problem with my discovery td5.When i pull away the disco moves of as normal then when i put my foot down a bit harder to move more quickley it seams to! well not do anything for afew seconds then it picks up and goes .I does it in 2nd & 3rd gear .my foot is to the floor and wont do anything . can any one help me.

Take the turbo boost sensor out of the inlet manufold and clean all the **** off it, then order a EGR bypass kit...

is it worth getting the EGR kit and how much does it cost?

see this thread for a great description of how to..http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/td...itting-my-tips-41368.html?highlight=egr+plate

ok mate thanks i will see if i can get one or get the REME metalsmith at work ot make me one.

I was thaking to one of my mates who said remove the EGR complete.There is a kit for this which i found at Td5 Alive! Td5 EGR Bypass Kit - Performance Diesel Tuning for most modern Cars and Vans.. has anyone else done this engine mod and is it better than just a blanking plate.

That's the one I've got on mine, be prepared for a shock when you see the amount of ****e inside your inlet manufold when you take the ERG off. I took mine off and cleaned it out with a steam cleaner.

Soak the allen pins on the exhaust manufold well with WD40 or similar first, I still managed to break one though...

ok i have looked at the RAVE cd and put in to search for the turbo boost sensor with no luck.is it called something else

It's the only sensor screwed into the inlet manufold with 2 screws.

i found it. it was full of oil and crap i gave it a good clean i just need to go for a test drive to see how it go's thanks for your help.i must get a egr kit.

i went for a drive today it is much better than before but there is still a flat spot in 3rd gear is that down to the throttle or the EGR.

That black gunk all over the sensor will be inside your manufold, blocking the airway. It's a common problem that the EGR causes, ask CharlesY, he'll tell you the same. Best to get rid...

REF:TD5 power/revs fade Thread by ianMKD.

i did what achuakh said and disconected the MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow)
and the performance was instantaneous i am well happy.the thing is do i need to get a new sensor or does it need cleaning i dont like to leave things unpluged.

A big thanks to achuakh for that tip. THANK YOU
