There's a guy out there VERY up on LR of another forum who rely knows his stuff !
I didn't say it was egr, but the egr sensor.
ok i stand corrected there is something else EGR related will look into that tomorrow and remove the wiring if it is EGR aint like its going to help with my EGR in the kitchen lol
Don't forget to blank the vacuum pipe
the EGR is removed new top pipe, blanking plate and capped the vacume that was all done umm some months ago lol not sure how many but anyways the EGR isnt related to my problem so gonna stop looking at EGR stuff and get back to what i need to right now. testing to see if its head gasket or one of many other things.
i kinda jinxed myself on this one cause earlier on track i mentioned it was nice to see under the disco and not have something leaking for a change....
ok so i didnt stop looking at things and the sensor in my pic a few posts back (one that looks like its the one snapped in the post you sent me too) is part number ERR2081 and is listed as "Temperature sensor in cylinder head" so EGR or not its deffo a temp sensor lol

its a temp sensor for the egr it wont have an effect on engine running
thanks for clearing it up james
quick question related to it though is it worth leaving it plugged in (connected/wired) without having the EGR does it report back to the ECU or something. took the throttle position sensor off a while ago when i took the EGR off cant say i noticed a difference so left it off you may be the guy to ask do i actually need that for anything now the EGR is gone! should i plug it back in haha

wont matter if its plugged in or not, your egr is blanked,the ecu under the seat cant do anything to effect running whether that or throttle pot is plugged in or not

run it for a few trips if it loses coolant and gets hot likely head gasket ,though your lack of power doesnt fit normal start of head gasket issue, thats usually a fuel or air issue
the power loss was seemed to be up in the turbo range. as for the coolant all i can tell you is that when i took the cap off slowly it pumped coolant out of the bottle when it stopped pouring out the bottle was full. i put the cap back on and opened up the thermo housing cap and that was dry. took the cap back off the res bottle and it took some back in. tomorrow im planning on bleeding it and going for a short drive then rechecking the levels etc will also look at all the hoses for air and pipes for fuel just to be sure but i can say without any doubt that the temp gauge in the car read normal maybe even a little under normal and the engine was HOT.
i'll update with anything and everything i find tomorrow
thanks again guys

just fill till thermostat housing plug hole over flows ,hold on to the flexi hose between manifold and inter cooler and rev engine you should feel it expand with pressure

Ok SO WE were BOTH Right !
as i said i would time for the update first here is a video .....
secondly my temp gauge still go's up to normal and blowers stay hot...
finally the water pump/pulley squealing like a pig in a slaughter house.
only took it on a short trip about 3 miles stayed under 2k rev's by time i got to where i was going thermo housing was empty and res was almost full.
