EGR is killing my Discovery 3 - here's the fix for my LR3

My Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3) is getting crippled by the EGR system. I've decided to try a blanking kit and re-map from Allisport on my recent road trip to see if it would help.
YES - IT - DID!
Here's a full fitting guide on how to remove the EGR pipes, fit the blanking plates and disable the butterfly.

I work for a independan Land Rover specialist and this modification would fail an MOT test as it has been obviouslt midified. We would advise fitting the blanking plates but leaving the pipes in place so its not so obviously modified.

I don't know but in Germany it is a 500 euro fine if egr blocked off so if it comes here your in for trouble, I expect it will?

Hi thanks for this great video! It would be nice if in future videos like this to explain what's the aim of this kind of modification! This also is a very good tip for making camping not so boring😂 Forget the fishing rods and other stuff next time I'm going to take my toolbox!😂❤😂

IIRC, pre 2007 models can be ‘Penney’d’, but inserting a 1 penny piece in the 2 pipes where they join the exhaust on each side of the engine. This in effect simply blocks off the EGR without having to remove any pipes or make alterations to the throttle body. Also, pre 2007 models won’t need a remap. This improves performance, fuel economy and prolongs the life of the engine.

I thought it was 2p piece - I used a cheap blanking plate instead. I also removed the butterfly valve. Worked fine.

Having ripped out all these superfluous parts and disposed of them ,will this vehicle now pass MOT ? It seems odd that Land Rover bothered to fit all these parts if they are not doing anything?

@freetimeonline 9 ай бұрын

They are doing something but the side effects are sluge and smoke, should pass the MOT just fine.

Must confess Also blanked mine but left the EGR pipes in situ, put the blanks at the engine block end between the EGR pipes so can’t be seen , along with removing the butterfly inside the throttle body , with the engine cover on it looks like the egrs haven’t been touched , have heard a few people failing there MOT if the pipes are missing, mines passed its mot’s for the last 4 x years since blanking them this way , mines also a pre 2007 so the software patch isn’t required , at the same time very carefully cleaned my Map and Maf sensors

Emissions control causes so many headaches. The Co. that makes that delete should adapt some kind of camouflage to keep those a hole inspectors none the wiser. With a reflash and a few decent miles before inspection,,, test PASSED. Yeehaw!

I wish Land Rover imported the diesel into the States. It simply makes so much sense to make adequate power with great fuel mileage on such an amazing vehicle.

Can you specify what is PRE and POST 2007? Mine is first registered 11/07 but MY08. And can it be blanked with leaving everything in? Due to MOT.

@LRLiveUK 6 ай бұрын

I think yours would be the same as mine. So you are most likely going to need a remap.

@@LRLiveUK What does a remap comprise? Is it something you would have to visit a dealer to get done? Couldn't the multiplug be tripped somehow? Mine is a Jaguar XF 2009 with the same engine.

Given that on many vehicles you can’t see the egrs and it’s all covered anyway. As long as you are not blowing smoke. You just may get away with it for your MOT.

Hello from Turkey. I just bought it from Ali Express for my 2008 sport vehicle. Is software needed? Do I need to cut and cancel the butterfly? Does the Aegean cancellation benefit fuel and power? Finally, I read it in a few places. They say that the temperature of the engine increases and is harmful, is it true?

@LRLiveUK Ай бұрын

Post 2007 and you will need software, you do need to cancel the butterfly. No noticable change in power or economy. More responsive though. Engine temperature is the samne.

Hello taking out the butterfly how does this help more Thank

@LRLiveUK 7 ай бұрын

Not entirely sure but think it's to prevent recirculation when the engine is cold with the EGR fitted. So might stay closed with the egr removed.

I don't think I've watched a video of work on a TDV6 before and it's good to see that there are simple jobs, it scares me bit. Also your opening section makes me want a vehicle I can camp in/on but I'd be looking at a tidy L322 if I was in the market, is sleeping in one of those a bit abusive for such a nice vehicle? Not a roof tent fan.

Is this legal in the UK? To defeat the anti pollution equipment?

@reabers 9 ай бұрын

Not legal but if blanked leaving everything as is such that the modification is not obvious, plus also deleting in software, it will pass MOT. Other emissions control is DPF and removing it is a big no-no.

Luckily the D3 didn't come with a DPF - only the 3.0 engine I think.

Would be worth taking the op section of the pipes off and putting the longer sections back. Come MOT time, it’s not so obvious they’ve been blanked then (it’s a failure otherwise).

Not allowed to remove engine covers at MOT to check if it's been removed.

Hammy - you can see the pipes clearly with the engine cover in place. If they’re not there, they’ve been removed. You can leave the pipes in and still blank the egr. It’s a cheat but works.

@robmcfarlane3602 Ай бұрын

Surely when you have the ECU remapped you can disable the butterfly ? It would save having to damage the throttle body. I'm about to do this mod.......So sick of EGR faults coming up on my D3 and my wifes Pajero and the life of my engines being shortened just to appease the environment police.
