I am having the EGR removed this week. Is this regarded by the insurance company as a "modification" ?? Do I need to tell them ? Cheers Malc :confused:

I have decided to remove / blank the egr on my td5. I asked my landrover service dept if they would do it. They said they do not remove /blank the egr as it is not a genuine LR part so they will not undertake customers suppling non LR parts. Fair enough. I contacted a garage who I used to use (...
