has anybody running a 2011 spec freelander with the newer engine in has any issues with the egr valve having to be replaced mine is now back in the dealer again having a second egr valve in less than 6 mts dealer says these do not fail very often i am concerned that somthing major may be wrong with the engine, rainy-city

Mine is now 16 months old with 21,000 miles and no problems, EGR's can stick due to carbon and maybe this is a case for 2 stroke oil
On saying that I don't use it.

intresting think dealer may trying to fob me off with a quick fix i feel that there is somthing else wrong with this engine will have to dig deeper, rainy-city

I doubt that replacing the EGR valve would be regarded as a quick fix - I gather its a to replace Cheers,

What is your car doing?
Lloyd is same age as Iain Cooper's FL2 and has done 22K- no probs with EGR valve.

but yours is a 2011 MM, Iains is 2009

LOL... I thought when Iain Cooper replied he was replying cos he had a MY11...
That'll teach me not to do the hovering mouse over person thing....

hi m.m mine has a little flatspot/hiccup when accelerating and also on a bad day you have to press the throttle pedeal further to get the power from the engine feels underpowerd it also surges slightly on light acceleration, rainy-city

Mine to, 11-1700 RPM, not all the time though,

I have plugged in my ODBC thingy a few times, no codes.
living with it for now.

(XS 2010 TD4e) 

speaking with my dealer, he said he has never known a EGR on a freelander go, which can't be said for the D3/RRS etc

Your symptoms sounds like mine and it was a leak in the turbo manifold so was losing pressure and requiring more accelerating etc

Interesting this. My 2011 MY SD4 has 13.5K on it. Just recently I've noticed a faint misfire - or what feels like a misfire - whilst the car is cruising, i.e no heavy throttle load, just bumbling along at an indicated 2000 rpm. Could this be related to the EGR? I've already had DPF issues, but in that case it just dropped to limp mode, so pretty sure its not that. There are no warning lights coming on, but it just doesn't fill me with confidence.

I agree, my confidence is not inspired with this,

If you have the need ( and anyone else who want to ) can pop around and use my OBDC thingy free of charge to see if any codes have been stored.....

Just PM me.

Any tips on diagnosing turbo leak?

Always nice to go to the stealers with some facts beforehand..... 

i think there was a code for the difference in pressure, the first time, the second time (a month later) there was a whistle (think they might not have go a good seal the first time
