    It's not real. Somebody on a Facebook page pointed out the poor Photoshop join in the rear door window (follow the line along the top of the window/roof line, it's got a step in it!)

    its a mule as confirmed by somebody working at LR..

  2. I always have discovery transfer boxes for sale for £50.

    Axles are £120 a pair off a 300tdi (24 spline)

    The only bit i see as worth keeping is the head off the 200tdi.

    but then if your engine did blow up id source a cheap 300tdi (~£250) and a defender R380 box.

    £500 is steep for a scrap discovery too, i pick them up regularly from £0 to £350

  3. Not ignoring basic thermal dynamics at all, but in real world situations a bigger diameter exhaust 99% decreases turbo spool up times and EGT's.

    We are talking about a 300tdi, it isnt a finely tuned race engine - by a very very long way.

    What do you want out of your engine? more throttle response from idle, more top end or what?

    Air filter postion and intake length make a HUGE difference and are easily modified.

  4. I would presume you mean EGR valve. two in 12k is very excessive.

    You can have the EGR system turned off via a remap. (Off and still does the self clean cycle - the chugga chugga noise when you turn the engine off)

    Removing DPF in the exhaust is an MOT fail, however the DPF has a handy heat shield around it, so if you should decide to have the DPF removed, the MOT man can't actually see it because its hidden underneath the shield.

    The ford fuel system IMHO is very very poor, they respond very well to a new fuel filter, but a serious pain in the backside to bleed the system up again.
