Great post. followed these instructions and did the repair myself, ordered the part on ebay from the states for £10. thanks for the help:)

Hi just done 277 miles using 8.1 gallons, brim to brim, 240 of which motorway cruising at 65 the rest around town. So pretty impressed with my new TD5 with 106k full service and EGR blanking plate. 34.2 Mpg is not bad for a 2 ton lump? 😉

i am the proud owner of a 2000 D2 TD5 with 105k on the clock with full service history. Happy with it and i am looking forward to sharing my experiences with you. happy to be here and also looking forward to your expert advice.:) Mark
