Re: Coolant Loss, EGR Replacement & Hiclones

Basically some feedback to earlier threads over the xmas period

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL YA LANDY FANS - AND TO YOU CHARLSEY

Disco 2 back from the coolant loss investigation, seems the water pump is leaking a little, the Garage pressurised the system to 10 bar, and found it was leaking. They still cannot confirm the Head Gasket is ok, but tey said they are 70% sure all is ok, and will know definately when pump is replaced next week.

Had EGR removed, and Hiclones fitted and boy she goes like stink now, hope the economy returns.

Was told by TERRAIN VEHICLES, in Bexill Road, St leonards that the EGR was jammed open with emulsified oil'ish substance there, was tested and he is certain it was'nt coolant, but just condensation.

Thanks for everybodys advice over xmas, will keep you all informed about MPG, just filled up with diesel, £40 @ £1.06 a litre. will give you the figures next week

look forward to the up and coming figures.
I filled mine up today £100 @ 108p per ltr

Sorry Charlsey, I wanted to seperate you beyond most as the depth, pleasant and helpful knowledge you give this website helps us all, and saves owners £1000's. Again, thank you.

I was actually thinking the same thing, maybe not a great idea to fit both mod's as which is helping me I am unsure.

HOWEVER!!!!!!!, I can report that I started with a full tank, and done 175miles and the needle has just started to move. I drive sensibly with cruise anyway as I am a dredded HGV Artic driver, but the MPG return already is so noticable.

My TD5 is a auto, and have always had th prob of not acheiving final drive till 50-55mph, but now its 45mph and a lot less revs on inclines, so again more fuel savings. The torque is unbelievable, like a new motor and am so chuffed.

For the EGR removal, Hiclones, and intercooler removal and clean it cost me £170 incl VAT, and should recover this cost within a month on fuel savings.

One happy Disco driver ere.

We love Uncle CharlesY! He's wunnerful. Am gonna leave him some kisses here an he can collect em later...

If anyone wanted to lay the bet and pay the fuel if I win, I bet I could get my Disco TD5 to do EIGHT HUNDRED MILES on one tank of fuel.

I would use a 50-50 belnd of derv and BioD.

I really think it would be able to do it.

Hi ya
Just joined the thread, sorry to be a bit behind but What a hyclone ?
Im removing the EGR and the cat as soon as the weather lets me but perhaps its some thing else to reduce the weight.

The CAT? TD5's aint got one, early ones aint anyway
