few questions, EGR, service and oils?

had a search, found nothing.

Is there an EGR blanking mod for the XEDi L series engine?

Would it be a good idea to do a full fluid change (engine oil, coolant, IRD, Diff and manual box) when i service it? have some history upto 86k but is now on 106k.

also. whats the recommended oil or oil/fuel additive to make my hippo sound a little less agricultural or would the oil change be sufficient?

thanks all

too many questions per thread?

If it were me buying it, I'd changed all fluids as soon as I got it, to make sure they had been changed. Haynes manwell or the rave disk will tell you the spec of the oils needed.

Here you go. From the rave disk:

Engine oil - Td4 engine
Use a 10W/40 or 15W/40 oil meeting both ACEA A3
and ACEA B3 specifications, and having a viscosity
band recommended for the temperature range of
your locality. Where oils to these Land Rover and
European specifications are not available, well
known brands of oils meeting API SH quality should
be used.

Engine oil - K1.8 engine
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A2
and having a viscosity band recommended for the
temperature range of your locality. Alternatively, a
10W/40 engine oil meeting specification ACEA A1
can be used.

Engine oil - KV6 engine
Use a 10W/40 oil meeting specification ACEA A2
and having a viscosity band recommended for the
temperature range of your locality.

Gearbox oil
Use of gearbox oils other than those specified may
result in serious damage to the gearbox.

Manual Gearbox - PG1 and Getrag
Use Texaco MTF 94 oil or Burmah Oil MTF 1067 plus
OPEL B 0400063 for refill or topping-up.

Automatic Gearbox - JATCO
Use Texaco N402 fluid or equivalent for refill or
topping-up.
Note: You can top up your auto box oil. Just make sure you do it correctly. Instructions on this site if you search for it.

Intermediate Reduction Drive
Factory Fill: Texaco S5 75W90; Specification: API
GL5

Rear Differential
Factory Fill: Texaco Multigear 80W-90 ETL 7441;
Specification: API GL5

Gear linkage - Manual
Use grease Part No. AFU 1500 containing 3%
Molybdenum Disulphide.

General Greasing
Use Multipurpose Lithium Base Grease NLGI
consistency No. 2.

Bonnet latch
Lubricate cable and latch with oil.

Locks, Latches and Hinges
Use Door Lock and Latch Lubricant, Part No. CYL
100020.

I have the TD4 with BMW engine down as 5w-30 fully sythetic engine oil .

What i posted above, is from the rave disk. This is Land Rovers preferred oil rating to use, from the time the rave disk was written. However, I notice my v6 is 10w-40, and shops tend to reccomend 0w-30 instead. It's down to personal choice which to use I think. I just follow what the manufacturer says.
