not really a waste of time on an engine that cracks heads! anything that lowers iat temps is a good thing!

actually no iam not. by fitting the valve by the wastegate it does spool up quicker by eliminating waste gate creep which iam sure i dont need to explain to you. and egr blanking with air filter, de cat, boost increase etc does make a difference not on there own granted but combined they do...

i have played with getting a bit more poke from a dse! first step get the cat removed chopped out straight pipe in its place will not fail mot. egr blanking or removal. performance air filter. fit boost guage either place but i had mine teed in at the manifold so i could then fit a gates valve...

island 4x4 do the cheapest uprated intercooler i could find anywhere!

offset is the same. just the center hole is a different size will require spigot rings and wheel nuts from the later range rover.

also check the exhaust side of the turbo for oil. as you have run it with intake from turbo off and it still smokes remove downpipe from turbo and see if it is full of oil in the turbo, had a volvo with renault dci engine in it do exactly that there should be no oil that side if there is the...

the onboard trip computer is rather optimistic! mine usually says around the 30mpg mark but in real world it is around 26mpg i also tow a 26ft twin axle bailey caravan cant say i would like too without it being chipped i paid £120 for mine from a company called ves sport in scotland solder in...

i have a chipped dse get about 26mpg not that slow when you want it to be! advantage is with the diesel can run bio diesel happily (which i pay 80p a litre for) auto is nicer to drive in my opinion than the manual it is true that chipping can chew the auto box up but a recon box is around £700...

my dse split the top of the rad couple of weeks ago was bit worried about excess coolant pressure being the cause but all seems fine with a new rad. i used arraldite on mine to get me home with the cap loose to avoid any system pressure but i would never never use it as a long term solution...

the upgraded breather is a complete unit it has no filter inside more of a valve set up. if you search for mg zt pcv valve upgrade and the such like you will find it rather quickly on mg rover forums or bmw m47 pcv valve

also what make are the glow plugs? if there britpart best take them out and fit oem as the britpart plugs are known to be crap!

there is a 3rd option for in tank pump rather than cutting the floor or removing the tank, mine has a facet cube electric pump in line under the bonnet due to the solid state technology more reliable than the cheap britpart pump also cheaper! and thanks to wammers flow test figures it does pump...

not 306 sure it was 405 but there is a slight difference cant remember what!

yep there should be a metal clip which fits in the metal pipe bit in your hand which locates in the groove on the intercooler when pushed fully on is it missing?
