Advise needed = EGR removal and De-Cat pipe 300TDi
The Electrician:
Right, I ditched the EGR today, De-Cat pipe can wait a couple of weeks, But instantly there was a marked difference in the acceleration from cold and it definatley goes up hills better.
I couldn't find anyone local with the EGR blanking plates in stock and with the postal strike naffing up delivery times, I decided to cut a pair of them out of 2mm steel plate and use the original gaskets and front plates (for strength) and it seems to be working a treat, no leaks either thanks to gungum.
Got the fuel filter too, just need an oil filter and i'll service it.

boss:
all my egr blanker is one flange welded up and bolted to the manifold with that locktite gasget goo stuff and then the cooler to intake pipe i turned around and then wedged a 2p coin in there(slightly too big so perfect) then another plate over the top of that which was all held on with the other end of the pipe. since got a stainless replacement pipe from ebay.......3 or 4 quid i think.

The Electrician:
Thanks for the links mr Bump, but the problem wasn't finding the bits, it was getting it delivered while the postal strikes are messing the deliveries up.
Although I might order the kit anyway for if or when the home made bodge burns through.
Well worth doing though.
