Black smoke?

Andy.:
Just seen this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LANDROVER-DISCOVERY-DEFENDER-FREELANDER-BLACK-SMOKE_W0QQitemZ4568818807QQcategoryZ31348QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem, peoples thoughts please  :?:

It mentions about the EGR plate, will my 93 200 series have one of these  :?:

ChrisW:
I believe the 200 engines did not have EGR at all, only being introduced during 300 engine production.

Perhaps a 'question for seller' - does he sell genuine snake oil too?  :wink: (my personal opinion only of course!)

muddyweb:
ROFL

8 quid for a ball bearing to wedge the valve open :-)

Clearly this genius also doesn't understand the concept of tubo-lag either... since apparently this ball bearing will remove all the effects of that too.

Budgie:
I just removed my EGR unit, replacing it with a £2 LR blanking plate on the manifold. Then replaced the top intercooler-inlet manifold pipes & tube with a single pipe. Job done and bit more space in the engine bay!  :wink:

Does this work? Are there any side-effects such as increased NOx in the emissions? I've alwyas thought of doing this to stop the smoke when I pull away hard from a roudabout but I've been worried that when the MOT comes around it will fail the emission on something else.  The EGR valve must have been put there for a reason.
