Yes you can leave it in place and block it off as described above :)

My Discovery has wrote off 5 cars that were unfortunate enough to stand in my way, and by wrote off, I mean completely paggered them and the Discovery is still going. Friend of mine had a 30mph bump in a shogun and f**ked it. A Land Rover may break down occasionally, but once all the niggles...

That's why I'll never sell it. ;) I'll keep it till it rots then have the fun of doing it all over again. :D

Aye, could have put a major deposit down, but would rather have a few flash cars and motorbikes than a big house anyday. Especially seen as I can stay at my parents rent free.

No, the house in the background was bought by my parents.

Well at the moment I didn't take the origional hose off yet, until you buy a straight hose to go to the inlet from the intercooler you can still keep the standard hose in place. Instead of removing the EGR from the exhaust manifold just disconnect the flange at the EGR side of the braided pipe...

Well I hope you all like my car, please don't be too harsh, it's my first attempt at a modified Land Rover. I know it may not be to everyone's taste but it looks and rides like a new one should and it's kept me happy. I'm only 22 after all..

Okay, bear with me this is slow progress uploading then plopping them on here. In the picture below you will see firstly, the car needs a vacuum. Secondly the dashboard is REALLY flat, wasn't always like that but so glad I got that sorted as I was fed up with it looking like soggy cardboard...

I don't use my Discovery for off roading, I have a modified Vitara that I play about in, which I'll also upload pictures of.. :p I'm about to upload pics of the Discovery in a few minutes, most of the costs have been in upgrades, I've spent on paint, carpet, seats, suspension, tuning, anything...

f**k me what a difference! AND I HAVEN'T PUT A NEW INTAKE PIpE ON OR CLEANED THE GUNK OUT YET!! Just fitted a blanking plate on and left pipework for now, DEFINATELY notice a difference, a hill I normally take in 3rd was managed in 4th. from tickover it just kept on pulling :D

I've never experienced an EDC 300Tdi as their not an official UK market model. Though I think there is reference to it in the Haynes manual, which I could look up if you like? As far as I'm aware though, if it does have an EGR valve, remove it, it will be the same as it'll do the same thing, the...

If you remove the intake you MUST use a new gasket. Order one from the Land Rover supermarket (Land Rover Accessories & Spare Parts) as their much cheaper than a main dealer. Degreaser / jizer or concrete whitner works well on diesel gunk and oil as does parrafin (a good cheap option) Don't use...

Hi, I've never had an LPG V8i but my old 3.9 did 25MPG when REALLY careful or if you floored it everywhere it would go as low as 9 so your petrol comsumption is fine, but I read the LPG should be doing at least 17MPG so you are well low. Best bet is to look in the service book and find the LPG...

For the money it's very good, you got a hose and the blanking plug, unless you want to spend about £40 alone on a silicone hose for it, which will last longer that the standard rubber, but the rubber has a damn long life anyway, so I'd say get the £16.99 one off ebay, they use decent blanking...

Well mine was bought by me dad when it was nearly new, was in the Avalon Blue colour and fairly plain with cloth seats in the nice grey colour (though I wished it was the seats with half leather and the Land Rover logo in the middle, but I wasn't so fortunate..) It was a fairly reliable beast...

Definately, the first time driving one I was like "OMG! It's like a tank, I can't see the end of the bonnet!!" But once you're used to them, their the best thing you can drive, never felt safer than in a Land Rover.

Thanks for the reply, I checked the Haynes manual and it doesn't look too much trouble to remove the air intake completely so will order a new gasket for refitting and a new silicone hose to replace the inlet pipework. Should be alright if I clean the inlet with an alkaline based degreaser...

Okay, so I ordered from eBay a blanking plate complete with gasket and 2 allen screws (not bolts, as screws are threaded all the way :p ) In total including postage it was exactly £9 from disco-compatible parts. Not a bad price if it does the trick me thought, BUT, having seen a guide on how to...

Try Liverpool Victoria or ecarinsurance :)
