They did say they had specific P38 diag when I first called because the guy joked about how little they use it. I'll give them a bell tomorrow and confirm they used P38 specific diag and not generic snap-on stuff.

What's the deal with egr thingummies? Do you treat them as a service item.. take off and clean periodically even if no active fault?

Pull the hose of that activates the egr and put a bolt in the end, no more egr to worry about

Thanks. Just had a look at LR parts , and have to say I won't be using them, despite price being good. I don't use any company that puts a surcharge on Highlands and Islands. There's no need. The courier charge is worked into price. If they use royal mail they don't charge extra.On checking fitment they are not LR but Porsche
These are the correct ones I think, check at bottom. Still 45% off

These are pretty much the discs me and Piercy have but for L322 full front & back

Doesn't that cause issues for a dpf?Pull the hose of that activates the egr and put a bolt in the end, no more egr to worry about

it depends on the euro rating and cars emissions systems.
On some vw engines around 2004 if the egr valve is blanked the ecu expects the gasses to change as the egr opens. If there is no change in gasses as expected it throws a fault. Earlier models have no recognition of egr gas changes in the final emissions. The later stuff with dpf systems are more sensitive than ever. The latest has an even more complicated emmissions system.....
the thermal engine is dead

Tempted?Not a bad price for a full kit really
I am
If I weigh my 38 in next week should get most the money I paid for it back.
4.4 V8 with zero mods probably as cheap to run (so I’m trying to convince myself!)

Seems the old V8 is píssing coolant out from somewhere, and it is at a very significant rate..
Out of the bellhousing too, so it looks like the entire lump is going to have to come out, oh joy!!
No rush though as its not on the road at the moment.

No DPF on the P38. I have run one P38 for years with the EGR disabled, no adverse effects to date and no manifold full of crap. The other P38 has been the same for 3 years or so. I reconnect the vacuum pipe for the MOT.
