Our EGR body replacements are made from aluminium, and use a 10mm thick baseplate, so as to prevent the bolts from bottoming out in the inlet manifold, like the ebay listed items do. No need for any kind of gasket sealer, as we supply a genuine LR gasket, and new fixing bolts too.

The blanks are made from 6mm thick mild steel, which are laser etched with our logo, and are then silver zinc coated.




Note the blanks are not zinc coated in these photo's , but otherwise they are the same.

I used a Devon 4x4 kit on my Disco, very pleased with it.

I suspect that they are now all much the same and it doesn't really matter which you choose.

The Devon kits are made from stainless steel, and have the very thin baseplate. (See above posts)

@wobble_hd - Download the EGR kit instructions off my website (linked in my previous post, above)
At the bottom of page 3, you'll see a picture of the EGR modulator on an early model Td5 Defender. Yours is the same as this, but has two modulators, rather than one.

Simply disconnect the electrical connectors from these modulators, and thats job done!

By leaving the electrical connectors plugged in, it is allowing the engine management to modulate vacuum to the vac hoses (which used to connect to the EGR valve on the inlet manifold), which in turn would allow the ingress of dirt/dust into the vac pump, which could potentially result in long term damage. This is why I suggest simply plugging the vac pipes with a self tapping screw, and taping the ends up.

Thank You!
I'll try that when I get home!
EGR removed and I also installed DeCat and mid silencer replacement pipe from TD5 Alive! I allready had the ITG filter and the transformation is GREAT! Barking Great!
Now I just need to order the TD5 Alive remap that one uses with Nanocom! I really look forward to that!
Is there a discount for forum members?

I have a 2002 defender with heat exchanger and 2 solenoids just below the bonnet. I've read that i can remove these with the irb kit but not sure about the td5 alive kit? Ideally i would like to take all that out rather than have random pipes bunged with screws if possible?

They're not random pipes bunged with screws! The only reason I suggested that, is to keep the pipes clean, internally. Since they are electronically isolated, they will never see a vacuum anyway.

If you look on the last page of my fitting instructions, you'll see the following passage regarding the brake servo pipes, which are available directly from any land rover dealer:

Quote:

Should you wish, you can remove the EGR electronic modulator assembly completely, but you MUST fit a new ‘vac pump to brake servo’ pipe, which has no ‘tee’. These were fitted to Rest of World spec vehicles which never had EGR, and are available from land rover dealers. The part numbers are ANR6916 (RHD) or SQB103360 (LHD). This conversion should only be performed by a competent person, as poor fitting could potentially lead to a loss of brakes!

Note the last sentence, regarding fitment by a competent person.

I took great care when I wrote these fitting instructions (almost 6 years ago!), so that every detail is covered, making for easy, trouble free installation by almost any person, with or without technical experiance. It had to be a 'dummys guide' as you cannot assume everyone has a good level of technical knowledge.

With my guide, there is nothing at all to go wrong, that has the potential to cause harm. Replacing the servo pipe is pretty simple, but it only takes one person, who hasn't got the right tools, or forgets to do something, and the next thing you know, your brake pedal is rock hard!

Alive Tuning sell around 50-75 Td5 EGR bypass kits every month, and not one has caused a problem.

Not sure about something, and need support? There's someone at the end of the phone from 9am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Weekend support, just call me on my mobile, or drop me an email.
