please excuse my ignorance but when i blanked the egr i also by passed egr cooler.
they failed on most 52 to 56 l200 which lead to over heating and hg failure.
is this the case with td5.
I guess we are both learning my reason for the egr blanking of 55 truck was told it stopped recycling its own s*it.Hi Gaza,
I'm the ignorant one here I'm afraid. Not a mechanic. Got the kit through & worked out where the blanking plate & EGR removal fitting go. There is a cooler between the manifold and the EGR unit. There is a coolant hose going to it and a vacuum tube to the EGR fitting. I understand they need tracing back to source and capping. Didn't have the bits so the job hasn't been done yet.
I could just take it to my friendly garage and ask them to do it for me but I'm not learning anything by doing that. I will pop in and see them though to check I'm doing things right before I butcher my engine
and my 2015 l200 has just had to be cleaned out short runs low mileage.

Well... borrowed a trolley jack, bar and sockets from work, but got held back at work and they stayed in the car. Didn’t fancy jacking the disco up on a cold dark driveway

Put a second battery in, I'll wire it all up when it stops raining though
Found you can buy the headlight relay kits very cheap so I've ordered one, see if it's any good.

Greeted with a flat on the drivers side just before I put her in for the MOT so had to sort that lol
She is in the hands of the tamed mechanic now
Strange, I’ve only had her a week or so but I already lament the space on the drive

Just taken me 90 mins to cover 12 miles home, no sodding wipers. I can hear the relay click so suspect it's that sodding earth on the bulkhead again.

Try pulling the wipers off the windscreen and see if they work then, they may even need a nudge.

I've swung off the damn things. It happened last year and they started working on their own. The snow fall was so bad I had to stop to clear the screen by hand.

Oil change and air filter done this weekend.
I changed the fuel tank a few weeks ago, so I'll change the fuel filter once the tank is a bit more empty.
