A bit of background to this one, I've got an ex-discovery 300 egr engine in my defender, all mounted up in the factory position and I've decided to time it "properly". Rave suggests the plunger lift for egr is 1.40mm @ tdc, which mine was thereabouts, and 1.54mm for non-egr. Last night the dti kit came out and I advanced mine to the suggested non-egr 1.54mm now the egr system is all removed. Quick blast around last night and I did seem sharper under foot with a touch more diesel knock as expected.
Started it up from cold this afternoon and attempted to pull up my drive and she wouldn't have it. It needed a good half throttle and a bit of clutch slip to get moving. Any ideas people? Timing was checked three times before I accepted it was bang on, so I know it's right and I don't really want to retard it back to 1.40 now it is essentially a "non-egr" engine.
Thanks in advance.
