The same old tractor with the older diesel could do far more work on a tank of diesel than the new one, he reckoned the new one needed refuelling about twice as much as the old one - he took it back and said it was faulty - after some confusion they finally came back with the explanation that all the new engines did that as they were cleaner but were not as fuel efficient! He was not chuffed!
These are probably the same people that forced lawnmower manufacturers to fit auto chokes thereby making them hopelessly unreliable after the first year.That's the same for petrol or diesel engines. What comes out the back "might" be less polluting, but that comes at the expense of increased fuel consumption and so increased CO2 emissions.
The problem is these people who dream up these rules, don't seem to have any technical knowledge in the area the rules apply.

I actually bought a battery powered lawnmower this year, which I've used in preference to my large petrol mower. The battery mower seems to cut well, even when the grass is 6" long. It's much lighter to use and much much quieter too, so I'm well pleased with it.I bought a lawnmower with a Briggs and Stratton engine which I know will be unreliable but also drinks petrol for fun.
Details? Name and praise if you willI actually bought a battery powered lawnmower this year, which I've used in preference to my large petrol mower. The battery mower seems to cut well, even when the grass is 6" long. It's much lighter to use and much much quieter too, so I'm well pleased with it.
I was going to do the same but I need a 20 inch cut and the battery ones were more expensive Now I wish I had as the amount of petrol I'm going through is making this one far too expensiveProbably. They're clueless muppets.

[View attachment 160550 View attachment 160551 View attachment 160552 View attachment 160553 I've gone and done it fitted a bypass kit this afternoon while the sun is shining in Leeds not to bad a job on the old FL1 ....I've only fitted the kit not cleaned out the the other bits so lets see how she goes... I've got a 2001 TD4 auto not been remaped and has 145000 miles on the clock, currently I'm getting around 32 mpg which i would say is better than Land Rover's offical figure considering I tend to do more urban driving, to and from work 4 miles each way on city roads with 7 sets of lights (usually all on red). I'm going to fill up my tank and do my usually runs and stuff then see if there is an change to the mpg... Pics are of the old EGR I've removed.

Yes I did get the supported one, I did notice on some of the fleabay didn't have just had blanking discs... the seller was EGR-DELETEDid you get the kit that has the large washer on a stick which supports the exhaust transfer pipe? The kits that don't have the supported washer are bad as the exhaust transfer pipe breaks off.
I more than likely will if I get use of the In-laws drive and garage and as I have to do my work roadside atm as the tin tent is on the drive as well as making sure I have a couple of days where i don't need it, as some have said it's better to leave the manifold soaking to get the baked on crud.....
when I did the bypass on mine I did it in stages, bypass first then I cleaned out the inlet manifold at a later date with oven cleaner and a jet wash noticed an improvement after bothA good jet washer will deal with it in 45 minutes spray all the outlets even the very tiny one which the MAP sensor fits into, let it dry out for about an hour or get ii air blown out, refit the same day
Can you recommend/link a specific manufacturer for an EGR kit? I'm looking at the moment but can't make my mind up as to which one to get, especially with the wide range of prices.Did you get the kit that has the large washer on a stick which supports the exhaust transfer pipe?

The top one is stainless steel and at a very good price. I totally agree with Acrtic2's choice.Either one of these below will do the job good,
