Do a search on EGR valves and see how many users on the whole of this board disconnect them and have no problems what so ever. Most report smoother running and less cr#p in the induction system as a whole. I havent seen this just done this to my wifes car either,i have 3 friends all the the...

The EGR valve is there to comply with reduced emissions which has a detrimental effect on performance, without it the unused Exhaust Gas goes out to atmosphere. Without it your engine will always be breathing clean air not Recirculated, clean induction air will always be colder and as a result...

Whilst i can see the enviromentalists theory for leaving the EGR valve in place, try disconnecting it and see how your car runs. I have disconnected the one on my wifes TD4 for the last 12 months and it has ran much better with it blocked off than connected, even she noticed the car 'Felt'...

Here is a link with a picture explaining where the filter is. Click on the picture to blow it up. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/re-loss-power-28002.html Zippy

Glen get this part ordered and changed its not that bad a job to do but if this filter is blocked it wont allow your engine to breath and will cause power problems and will make the car feel under powered. L8510298 Valve Assembly £20.87 Its a cam cover breather filter. Zippy

Dont leave for good ming i will miss you :(

Ming i hate to say it, but i agree with Muddee let it lie for a while at least ;)

On a serious note why havent any moderators picked up on this individuals 'STYLE' of posts. On other boards shall we say, you wouldnt get away with posting continual garbage and using offensive language. I think we all agree that we are here to help each other out where possible whatever the...

I think ming has covered all that needs to be said about you SLOB. As for the 2 and 3 cars you have no idea my man................. You are not worth entering into an argument with, as per usual people who mouth off on the web tend to be little wormy no lives who sit naked from the waist down...

You tractor boys are so easy to wind up, me spelling it wrong wound you up exactly as planned. Enough now, how many posts did you all waste having a go, class, i did like the war and piece reply from one of you mud lovers though. The things on the Freelanders side are: Heaters that actually...

Oopss educated tractor boys, well spotted IMMATATING.....Happy now.

Who has ran off at the mouth ? My point is, its somebody imatating to be another user and thats bang out of order. Yes the name is spelt with a capital letter at the start but at a quick glance people will think it is the original ming so my original point stands.

Where are the moderators when you need one, they can trace the user posting as another and sort it out. Play fair guys, posting as an existing respected user is not on, by all means enter into banter but posing as another and being disrepectfull isnt fair. Something similar happened to me on...

That is the 'Filter' in question Ming, if it is blocked it will cause the engine to limit its exhaust outputs to reduce crankcase pressure, How ? by limiting its speed. Find it in the haynes manual did we ? Well done mate, see if you can get a part number for it and post it up, plus piccys if...

Apart from oil residue in your exhaust system which in time should dissapate off, it should be fine. Take it for a decent run on a motorway to get everything up to a good temperature and see how it feels. The high boost should also help clear things out slightly quicker. Hope it is the end of...

Problem sorted: It was the rear, top diff mount that needed changing, all is well again with the wifes toy.(Done under warranty) Zippy

Do you get any unusual noises when engaging drive after turning a corner or when you reberse round a bend ? My wifes car (MY02 TD4) had a slight judder on pull off and made a clunk from the rear when turning a corner and then engaging 2nd gear on pull away, this proved to be the top Diff mount...

I would never tick you off Ming, it was just getting boring, i'm the worst in the world for winding people up you should see some of my posts on Scoobynet, i'm renowned for shooting from the hip and bucking the trend. lOVE HUGS AND KISSES Zippy

Right guys we have had a laugh and a joke but all its now doing is adding to each users post count and on most threads offers no assistance at all to the users requests for information and its getting rather tedious. Let the Tractor boys go home and get dirty in some field while we hairdressers...

Mac remember that only problems get posted up on these boards and for every head gasket failure there are probably 3 without any issues. One point i saw raised about the failures is due to the Freelander being 2 tons in weight and the 1.8 isnt the most powerfull engine and most are driven short...
