there's an article named 'power broking' in :
August 2012 - MAGAZINE on landroveraddict
be about uprating a TD5 .. including EGR removal
no mention of dashboard lights
the article mentions 2 types of egr systems for the td5 ..
ends with the caution note:
~~~~~
especialy with older engines, there is a real risk of at least one of the 2by5mm allen bolts shearing off when trying to undo.
to reduce the risk ..
1) only work when the engine ( and thus the exhaust manifold ) is cold
2) apply copius amounts of releasing oil, preferably a full day before attempting to undo them
3) apply localised heat using a heat gun to help break the sealed thread

Hd3 awesome thanks very much for finding that out and the Cation note ............. im a magnet for the shearing of bolt-ness lol
Sorry for jumping in, but I've just got a blanking kit for my discovery 300Tdi and was wondering if you need to use any gasket sealant on the blanking plate? Thanks.

If you've got a cat defiantly don't use any!!! Get a gasket! Or make one
Mine came with a gasket, I just wondered whether I'd have to give it a smear of hermatite or something?
Did mine today but blanked the EGR, rather than completely remove it. Didn't really notice the difference until I looked at the speedo! And no more changing up and down the gears all the time to keep the revs up.👍
