[Reduced performance and limp mode]

Thanks Ally V8 my local landrover dealer is Keith gott landrovers so I will book it in and take it along, thanks for all your help.

Thanks for that Ally v8 is there anyway of checking to see if it is the actuator that at fault.

[Reduced performance and limp mode]

Hi everyone need a little advice, driving to Cornwall row all side of the from Winchester a few weeks ago got 30 miles Cornwall side of the M5 car started losing power noticed the information letter on dash but no light and reduced engine performance, AA came out but couldn't get a proper reading as I had taken of the connector to the throttle housing which through up a load of codes, I drove it around quite hard to get it to do it again so the AA could get a proper reading but it wouldn't, so we drove home the next day without any problems until we got to Stonehenge when it went into limp mode again with the same message, we limped home and I bought a terrafirma code reader which gave me 3 codes which are p2563 turbo boost control pos sensor A circuit range performance p2562 same as above and p0234 turbo overboost condition, is there anything I can do to fix or change this, any help will be great, by the way it is a 2009 freelander 2 with a 2.2 deisal engine with 40000 miles.

[steering wheel movement]

Check the nut that holds the steering wheel on. If not it is probably wear in the colum assembly with the height adjustment. There doent apear to be any bushes listed to replace, only the whole assembly ! QMB000120PMA

thanks very much for the picture and advice,will check the steering wheel nut at the weekend.

Hi there,

could anyone tell me why i have up and down movement on my 99 td5 steering wheel, it has height adjustment and when locked there is movement, is there a bush that needs to be replaced or would anything have come loose.

[TD5 EGR removal, IRB Devloments kit]

Hi Steve,

Ian lits them at £65 + VAT on his website:

IRB Developments

His 300tdi kit is the best on the market in my opinion

James

thanks very much james, can you tell me if he still supplies a newsevo pipe with the kits.

[TD5 EGR removal, IRB Devloments kit]

Only post 2002 have the heat exchanger, was part of the upgrade to enable Td5 to meet EU3 emissions.....

Pre 2002 simply have a pipe going from the exhaust manifold into the intake.

You could just put a plate in between the stainless pipe and the exhaust manifold... but this is far from ideal 'especially' on post 2002 cars (something that all the people on Ebay just selling blanking plates fail to point out).

Most common set-ups:

People disconnect and unplug the solenoids and nothing else... this is ok as long as the EGR set-up is brand new.... an older one will be full of crud (technical term lol) and can fail to seat correctly - so still allowing spent exhaust gas back into the engine all of the time!!

EGR's on Td5 do, quite often, stick partially open - allowing spent exhaust gas to pass back into the inlet all the of the time, not just when the ECU should allow it....this is bad for the engine, and can lead to rapid bore wear!!

Some people just fit the blanking plate to the exhaust manifold....

This is principle is ok... however:

On a pre 2002 car, you still have a partial blockage into the inlet manifold (i.e. the plunger and associated casting) - although not giving you 100bhp extra, it is a worth while mod to remove this (i.e. the EGR intake on the front of the inlet manifold) and fit a straight through inlet section.

On post 2002 cars, doing this is a lot worse....

I will post a picture in a bit (although Steves' last picture also shows it) but a post 2002 Td5 has, what looks like, a throttle blade inside the intake section that bolts to the inlet manifold. If you simply blank the exhaust manifold, this blade will still operate (when demanded by the ECU) effectively blocking the intake into the inlet manifold..

If you disconnect the blade and plunger from the two ECU controlled solenoids, the blade stays at at angle (i.e. not horizontal) so you will always have a slight blockage... which again is not ideal from an air intake point of view - as you simply creating a pressure build up.

Personally, I would remove the set-up completely.... it is un-needed for use on UK roads... EGR does not effect smoke/opacity thus will not effect MOT's (same as removing the cat from post 2002 Td5's)

Removing the EGR set-up is also very important if you travel into areas (i.e. other countries) that use high suphler diesel.... use of high sulpher diesel, in a vehicle fitted with EGR will very quickly destroy the stainless pipe work... hence why RoW spec Td5's have no EGR fitted.

Hi ian

I have read steves description on your egr blanking kit, could you give me a idea of how much a kit would be for a 99 td5, it has one straight through flexi pipe from exhaust to egr valve and one sensor.
