Afternoon Ian

Don't bother disconnecting the EGR, if you are looking to do the mod just take off the black rubber pipe to the EGR, get a 7mm ball bearing (got mine from local cycle shop) and bung one in the pipe, push it down & re-connect the pipe.

Looks standard but you get the benefit - mine certainly made a difference

hope this helps

Thanks Hawaii that sounds good to me but could you point me in the right direction for the pipe that i need to block. I am not thick but i just have not got a clue what i am looking for cheers, Ian.

yep, no problem, as I'm crap with a camera, here goes

on the top of teh egr is a ipe outlet that sticks out of teh egr on teh side. This pipe vanishes down the side of teh engine block.

Pull this off the egr (should come off quite easily, if not, give it a bit of a tug) stuff the 7mm ball bearing down the rubber pipe and shove it right down with a screwdriver, coathanger etc.
You have to shove it down far enough to be able to put the rubber pipe back on the egr, even thought it's now blocked it looks nice & neat

10 mins & job done
