Does anyone know what i could do to make my tratter less dangerous to people with respitory disease and the ozone? Special filters or somthing else? There's a few people in particular who go past my drive when I'm leaving for work who put scarfs over their gobs as I set off.

Easy fix! Leave 10-mins earlier, problem solved.

Sell the defender and buy an electric vehicle, or walk.

I'd say walking is the best option..
An EV was a poolutant when it was made, that makes greenies sensitive..
Fook me..
As @DanClarke says leave earlier..

Put more oil than usual throw stinking fishes from Dodgy Fishmongers and let the local Seagulls go ape as they gorge on the stench. Anyone complains say your doing your bit for the environment by helping birds as part of the Quid Pro Quo system.

Yes, until it clogs up and either catches fire or stops the engine from starting. Diesels smoke a bit, especially on a chilly morning when first starting. Either live with it or get a petrol.

If it bugs you then I’d sell up.
I personally have lived a life giving a toss about other people and it’s never got me anywhere therefore now I just care about what makes me happy. Soooo politely run them over and they will never walk past your house again.

Sell yours and buy one with a high mileage 19j engine then you'll see what smoking is

I do 1500 miles a year in mine, I suspect it throws out less carbon emissions than your average family lawn mower.
If it's a properly tuned engine, not one that has to be 'adjusted' by an expensive eletrickery bit that plugs in, then the emissions are extremely low!
Mine is a 1989 NA and the exhaust chucks out between 40% and 50% LESS than most on the 'greener' cars in for their first MoT.
Tuning skills are very few and far between nowadays!!

Reprt them to the police, suspicious looking people standing around you car covering the faces with scarves or just shout allahu akbar out the window as you start it up

If the engine is in good condition, serviced properly and the MoT raised no issues with the emissions, I really wouldnt be bothered by what others do or say when you use it. Let them cover their faces. They’ll find the local public transport causes more pollution than your Landy.
If you are really concerned about public opinion, get a hybrid thing or use public transport, cycle to work, etc and keep the Landy for weekend use.
