I'd think twice about removing a working egr these days.
Not sure on the current mot rules, but things have been tightenied up and no doubt will be again.
"Is the emissions control equipment in place and operational?" is a phrase that springs to mind.
Don't loose the bits if you do take it off!

Agreed. That's a fail if its missing factory fitted parts (I believe) Unless you have a sympathetic tester... Regards

I guess so. id say all the MOT's I have gone to, they are hot on stuff like that...

This MOT (due this year) will be through the garage I use, and they have a preferred tester. Regards

2006 Defender 110 Td5 USW Zermatt Silver

Personally I wouldn’t want to go running with a pipe joining my arse to my face. Due to that I’ve removed my EGR off my engine.

That's very true.. But don't a lot of people remove the engine cover permanently?? I have been told by a few to get shot of it, to help cool the engine... I declined politely

A Td5 doesn’t need any help to keep cool. Then run cool

Do these have the same transfer gearing as the 300 and 200? I know the gearbox is the same as the 300. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Gearbox is basically same as in R380,but bellhousing and input shaft are different. Think transfer ratios are the same as before with differences between 90/110 and discovery

What would lads say would be a good price for a decent one? I am getting mixed prices here. 16k is top whack for me. My 300 I paid 8.1k for her. Which was the best one out of the 5 i looked at. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

16k will get you an extremely tidy low milage td5. In fact that will get you a fairly tidy puma. Prices seem to be stable at the momemt but will fall slightly as we come out of winter

I have been noticed a few early pumas, but I think the tax will hammer me sadly, I have seen some TD5s going for 18k which I think is a little questionable due to another one I saw which was 50k higher mileage wise. But it was just as tidy. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I would buy purely on condition rather than milage (as long as full service history)

Puma tax on a hard top will be the same as a hard top Td5 or Tdi
