He must have a very good job to be able to pay that much insurance6000km a year at 114€ a month. Fully comp as well. He's not yet finished his 3 year probationary driving period... Not envious at all![]()

Depends on the model of car. Best way to keep the EGR valve good on the P38 is to remove the vacuum pipe from the actuator.I've heard that egr valves can go bad but not throw error codes, is this right? Anything to look for and anything you can do preemptively to keep them good, or do they just have a lifespan?
Normally they'll throw a code someway as the airflow meter waits for the airflow to drop when the egr valves open. Also egr valves also have position sensors which give away its position of they get stuck and chew the gears..I've heard that egr valves can go bad but not throw error codes, is this right?

They can be horribly tail happy on wet or icy roads even at low speeds.He drives like a grandad Keith. He lives at home as well.
But the later egrs can be unprogrammed!!Depends on the model of car. Best way to keep the EGR valve good on the P38 is to remove the vacuum pipe from the actuator.
On newer models that cannot be done as the have feedback so the ECU knows that the valve is not operating and will throw a fault code.
He knows our Keith, hence the slow careful drivingThey can be horribly tail happy on wet or icy roads even at low speeds.
Yep, a friend has recently had an EGR delete and re-map on his DefenderBut the later egrs can be unprogrammed!!![]()

It goes like brown stuff off a shovel but blew an injector out soon after the re-map. Not sure why anyone wants that much performance in a Defender though, noisy and uncomfortable compared to the P38.They go like bugger when done right
There's a guy on pootube called juice motors that does defenders all day long. He knocks out some smart machines![]()
Very good pointIt goes like brown stuff off a shovel but blew an injector out soon after the re-map. Not sure why anyone wants that much performance in a Defender though, noisy and uncomfortable compared to the P38.
One for each head normally. The more modern diesel are under too much heat and pressure. Fit to burst!I'm thinking about the egr on the 4.4 tdv8, not sure if it has one or 2 of them![]()
Get a dieselWent to the shops in my p38, i wish i could rely on it, it's gone past the mental point of no return
