    Egr blanking and decatting a 300tdi

    Hi Dave I have done both these mods to my 300tdi '98 and it walked its MOT. the Cat does not have a Lamda sensor and is more just a particle collector more than anything so waste of time fitting them really. With regards the wiring etc for the egr I just took mine off and binned it, jobs a gud un!

    Leaking lift pump!

    Cold starting/crap mpg/crap power sorted!

    Yep the defender one is identical in everyway except cat of course same fixings, diameter etc etc. The only tricky bit is the 3 bolts holding the pipe onto the turbo, plenty of WD required for a couple of days before hand and if poss remove when cold, i learnt that by accident ouch! you 'll need...

    Cold starting/crap mpg/crap power sorted!

    Hi, for some reason the 300tdi defender downpipe doesn't come with a cat its part number ESR2297 and bolts on where the old one bolts off no probs. 60mm bore is slightly smaller that the original exhaust bore so with a little bit of skill with a grinder and some clamps it'll bolt on a treat...

    Hi there Is there anyone out there running 35's on their disco? I used to have a 200tdi running 33's no problem at all, little slower on the uptake and top end but never snapped anything and was great in the sticky stuff. Thinking of trading up to 35" creepy crawlers, but am worried about...
