I bought a kit for £25 to remove the EGR on my TD5 Landrover because of rough idling, it took 10mins to fit and the Landrover has passed its MOT every year since the EGR was removed, plus the engine is much more responsive.

The EGR on the Landrover is known to cause issues as it sticks causing the engine to always get the exhaust recirculated - what it is designed for - but issues have meant that alternatives have been developed, I wonder if the same will happen here once the cars are out of warranty?
