Finally got round to blanking off the egr last night - should have done it months ago but blanking plate took 2 weeks to arrive due to guy being on holiday, then it arrived when i was away & local post sorting office couldn't find it , blah blah blah.
anyway it's done now - 20 mins work when i got home last night - took it for a spin & noticed an immediate improvement - then I decided to clean the MAF sensor and checked the air filter .
the air filter was really dirty (despite have only done 5K since 84K service at Stafford Land Rover ) - replaced with £9.99 halfords jobby & WOW - it really goes now, pulls away at junctions & roundabouts much better. I was happy with its performance before ( never really expected it to accelerate like a sports car anyway ) but now it's even better.
just goes to show what difference £15 & 40mins work can make.
Thanks to James W for his excellent tips on EGR plate
