That's great thank you, and thanks for pointing out about the second egr valve, always good to check. Well, that one is possibly a lost cause - but I did manage to blank that off yesterday too - there's one 'good' bolt in but the other bolt, whilst also in just spins around trying to tighten it...

Ah, okay thank you, I will take a look at doing that in the morning then, I'm guessing it's not a big job?

Possibly, wherever it's gone it's gone for good. I even lost a socket extension bar down the hole at the side of the engine bay, it disappeared amongst the leaves that seem to be stuck down there and so i'm guessing it's somewhere on top of the wheel arch covering. Yep - not very good at this...

Thanks Lynall, soooo I blanked off the EGR today by using a blanking plate inbetween the pipe and EGR. She drives sooooo much better. However - One small problem. I accidentally ended up dropping one of the bolts somewhere into the engine bay - actually dropped it a couple of times but it fell...

Hello all, So I bought an iCarsoft fault code reader (absolutely brilliant piece of kit by the way.) Under ‘Diesel Engine’ heading the system has detected the following codes and I wondered if anyone knew what any of these meant? P02AE - Cylinder 6 Balance - fuel trim at maximum limit P121A -...

Okay great, thank you!! :-)

Hello all, I'm now at the stage with my disco 3 (54 reg) where I feel fitting EGR blanking is going to be the best option. I have a couple of questions if anyone else on here has experience? 1. Will it still pass MOT emissions test with blank fitted? 2. How easy is it to fit the blank? -...

Thanks, it's a 54 plate. Only problem with blanking is that I believe you also need the engine re-mapped aand I have concerns it will fail MOT emissions tests. It's okay though - the new valves are being delivered tomorrow and were not 'that' expensive (under £80 for both the left and the right...

Hello all, I'm a little on the confused side. So, long story short but I need to replace either one of both EGR valves. I suspect it is drivers side EGR that has gone but I'm looking to replace both (might as well - nice clean new shiny EGR etc.) Right, so I have seen a youtube video of a...

Hello all, I'm hoping that somebody will be able to help me solve a problem. First of all, my car: A Landrover Discovery 3 54 plate TDV6 2.7 SE Secondly, and because I think this "might" be important information? I like to service the car myself, changing out the oil and filters etc and on...

Hi guys, I would like to make my landy a bit more environmentally friendly. Is there anywhere or anyone that is able (if possible) to retro-fit an AdBlue system to my 2.7L TDV6 Disco 3 ? thanks,

Hello all, I have recently bought a Landrover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE (54 plate) What I would like to know is, is it possible to use an alternate operating system, such as Android with Googlemaps and load it on to the satnav system instead of needing to use the factory loaded satnav ? thanks in...

ah okay, thanks :)

Hello all, does anyone know if it is possible to fit an air induction kit onto a TD4 ? - and where one might be available? thanks,

thanks guys, it is not a double ended (solenoid) one.... the center interior light is but the one in the boot looks like a 'normal' light bulb....sadly too old so no markings on it any more though.
