I suspect there are differences in software even between Puma Defenders...
I have a couple of pals who bought their Defenders second hand from Spain, and they can blank the EGR at will, the MIL never comes up. On mine, which I bought in the UK (a cancelled order for France initially), blanking the EGR without a matching software remap light up the MIL every time. “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique. -- 2009 2.4 Puma Defender 90 SW 1979 Land Rover Series 3 88" |

Following this discussion with interest as I have been considering a delete and can't decide.
Ianh suggests that a closed egr may cause engine heat and knocking. I'm intrigued. If one of the aims of the egr is to have a slight cooling effect, doesn't that mean engine heat remains higher after a full delete. |

“Mapping out” an EGR consists of permanently closing the EGR and adapting the ECU map to cater for the absence of any exhaust gases that would have been utilised if the EGR was in standard operation. If done correctly by a reputable company then all should be ok when compared to just blanking the EGR.
