Where to put the blank?

Just about to fit the egr blank and new inlet hose, had a look under the bonnet, and my truck looks different to the photos I have seen here "How to remove and bypass the EGR valve on a Land Rover Discovery 300tdi".
Admittedly mine is a R plate auto and I am pretty green at working on trucks, any help as to where to fit the blanking kit? As if I fit direct to the manifold will leave me having to remove the extra part with several other hoses to sort out? :)

Thanks in advance

Odd, yours looks like none I've seen before.

The blanking plate sits on the manifold (roughly by the "Here" in your original pic), but you seem to have grown some extra hoses from somewhere! :confused:

Cheers, that's what i thought, fecking weird?? :eek: All I know is that is a r plate Jap import auto? But i am sure others dont have these extra bits?
 
Looks like the easy thing to do if you don't Want to replace the bottom hose as well is to link the 2 together then remove the hole thing back to the manifold
 
Your TDi 300 Jap import has a water-cooled EGR valve, that's why the pipework looks different.

Re where to put the blanking plate? There are actually three options in your case:

1. Remove the EGR itself from the exhaust manifold and blank off the manifold. You will also need to join the 2 water pipes, plus replace the top hose. This is the best way to do it.

2. The 2 places you indicated can be used and will stop exhaust gases re-entering the inlet manifold.

Thanks for the reply biglad! I will go for the first option, I really don't want to get a new lower hose, but unsure on how to connect the two egc pipes together, how would you suggest?

1. First remember that you only want to join them together to complete a circuit, nothing more. So they don't need to stay the same length if there is a practical advantage in shortening them to fit better.

2. Get yourself a piece of copper pipe of an appropriate diameter so you can insert it in both ends of the rubber pipes and secure with jubilee clips.

personally id just fit a blank tin gasket between valve and manifold and leave the rest in place
 
You can get pipe connectors and a couple of jubilee clips from halfords . But if ya got any odd bit of copper pipe about try what ever fits
