newbie with 1st landy!

Hi guys, just bought my 1st landrover, a discovery td5 on 03 plate. Very happy with it up to now but having looked on a few sites I noticed there have been a few re-calls on these. Just wondering how I can find out if my vehicle has needed any or if its been in for any re-call work before I bought it. Also is what is the best way to get a bit more performance out of it as I had a BMW 330d before and just miss the power a little. Does the EGR plate mod work and is it worth doing?
Thanks in advance guys, hope to hear from someone soon

ya local stealer will be able to access the records and check for ya. if it hasnt had them all done, the will book it in foc.
