Disco 3 EGR questions :)
OKe so i have the next question
My egr valves are out of service Will order my blanking kit in a few weeks My question is : would it be a probleme to drive the car with the egr's broken ? I use the car for work so it's daily driven Would the broken valves do anything to the engine or the most inportant the cat ? A lot of smoke comming out of the back exhaust's so i presume that that smoke goes through the cat
Is it better to order blanking kit's or just buy the 2 egr's ?

it just wont work very well when you drive it
better to buy the EGR valves but a LOT MORE Expensive that just blanking them off Duncan

So it will not affect the engine management ? Think i will go for new egr's but the budget is really bad for the moment "Imagination is more important than knowledge." by Albert Einstein

Why not do a temporary blank of the egrs?
Think Landrover assist use coins or a bit of tin?

slax, just do a temp blank to get yourself going again.
Thanks to Andrew
They are easy to make, dont have to look pretty as you can not see them
when fitted and takes about 1hr for a novice to fit. Then you can decide
which way you want to go with the repair.D3 bullbar-spots-roof rack with spots-ladder-long range tank-swing out spare wheel carrier- upgraded tow bar-dash console-internal water tank-duel awnings-drawer system & T T.
