ok,then i think the unit is faulty.has it got a thumb screw to adjust,or a normal screw??.maybe the last owner over did the turning of the adjuster.
It has a plastic screw type thing with numbers on. I think the owner did say the thumb screw had broken off. I have to change it with a screw driver. 
Owner on here. Didn't report that it didn't work. In fact he said it transformed his car. I find it hard to see how it could be broken? You may be right but I will try again once I've sorted the little bits out. I looked at the oil the other day and it was thick and gungy, definitely old.

ok,it may have been overturned to try and get more power out of it.i had one of these on my rover 75 diesel,same engine.it transformed it tbh.
Just received the Bearmach egr bypass unit from rutts 4x4 on ebay today. Made of aluminium and looks like good quality workmanship for the price. It also has the vaccum hose plug/holder welded on and the inside of the unit is straight through without the bit that would go the the egr hose being hollow (creating turbulent air inside) as I have heard some of the cheapest ones are made (don't know if this even matters mindyou). So seems very similar in quality to the Allisport one but £24 cheaper. Just a heads up to anyone looking at buying a bypass kit more recently as this thread seems to have run it's course ages ago.

Same here. My EGR was quite clean when I took it off.

Just had mine remapped how would that affect the EGR mod if at all? Would I need another remap?

Wouldn't have thought it would make any difference. I've done all the engine mods including Rover Rons and more than happy with the performance.

Hi, following the thread and the very useful pictures in it, I've just fitted the egr by-pass and tdi tuning box - can feel a great improvement already.
Suprisingly, the muck build up wasn't heavy in my td4 2004, 54000 miles.
Thanks to all for the reassurance and posts!

Is there any advantage/disadvantage of the various ones available?
