When I did mine at 117k Miles the inter cooler was fairly clean, it was the inlet manifold that was full of marmite.

Now Mr Rev James,
Is that not what you told us earlier today?
So, how come YOU seem to have carte-blanche to go to teh tip empty, and come back loaded?
Did you get any good stuff?

Sure thing!
But do you really expect us to believe this latest version of the events?
I am always happy, especially when I have been to the tip and come back with a heap of goodies!
It's amazing what people throw away.
I treat all such things as gifts from generous people!

Don't worry about it, i posted that at the same time, anyway this is a classic thread hijack lol.
still waiting for the garage to pick the car up today but believe they are going to meet the full cost of a new timing cover i'll keep it posted what happens
Don't suppose you've seen one down the tip? lol

Well, I took the pipe off that the EGR feeds into (sorry KMG - still Hijacking 
), The one thats about 55mm in diameter and goes between the intercooler and the intake manifold. It was full of orrible black slimy gunge - Jason called it 'marmite' yuk! (what is it? its oily which is a worry), anyway, I replaced it with an 8" length of scaffold tube which I had sprayed black and it looks the part. However, would I be better off getting a length of the correct diameter hose and going straight to the intake from the intercooler with it as I have dropped to the internal diameter of the scaff tube which I reckon can only be 40mm at best. Will this have a negative effect?

Will this have a negative effect?what should the internal diameter and the length of the pipe be? I haven't got my car to measure at the moment but I can order some silicone hose off ebay ready for when she returns so i can drop the whole EGR off.
the garage has ordered a new timing cover from landrover today so she should hopefully be running again by friday, luckily at their expense.

Well, I measured the pipe I took off (the one with the egr mounted on it) and its 2" or about 52mm in diameter. I stuck a piece of scaffold tube in for now which seems to be working. Had a quick look on ebay and havent seen the hose yet. (not for £10 anyway) will keep looking. Dont forget you need a plate for the exhaust manifold as well. I found a piece of 1/8" plate and drilled it and put it on. I had to use a couple of washers as the plate was thinner than the EGR. Also you need to blank off the vacuum pipe. I did it by sticking a screw in the end of the rubber hose then doubling it over and keeping it in place with a cable tie.
Hope you get going by the weekend anyway.

I reckon you would need 15" piece to go direct from the intercooler to the intake. I am not happy with the scaff pipe as I think its too narrow and has kinked the rubber hoses. I have sawed off the EGR assy from the original pipe and will clean it up thoroughly and MIG weld a patch over the hole where the EGR was. I will probably go for the silicone hose idea but I am driving 350 miles on saturday so dont want the risk of having any problems.

They must have sold out
Have a look at this though for a 200 tdi as they dont have an EGR looking at it it looks like it will do the job but check it out with them first.
Less than a tenner to boot

Personaly think that you will be OK with your scaff pipe as a temp fix.I have driven back from the south of France before now with a totaly collapsed intercooler pipe, loss of power yes but not the end of the world
kmg - where are yu based? change ya cp to show the area yu are in. I have some surplus straight silicone hose, but £30 a metre is about right. I does depend, of course on the shape and diameter required.
Just checked - mine is 38mm so no good to ya. - Silicone hose is expensive - but it is a "buy once" item.
