It depends what year model you have, early models should use the one without the hole, later models need the hole otherwise they throw an error code. I'm not sure what the switchover year is though.

Ive blanked the EGR of other diesels without problem.

I thought the latest SD4 (64plate) was unblankable but after reading these threads I've now ordered the plate with a hole. Jules

So from this thread, if you run a late model Freelander with a DPF, you cannot blank it?

Fitted full blank on Sunday to my 2009 HSE (79k) and instantly noticed it pulls quicker from a start and is much stronger. Thumbs Up

Hello gravon 42,
I'd be grateful to hear your experience with this. I've also got a 2011 SD4 (Lago Grey !!!!) but it's an auto, and thinking about blanking the EGR but if it needs serious tampering with the ECU, my indie won't manage...


Thanks

United Kingdom 2013 LR2 TD4 Dynamic Manual Santorini Black

Hi Angelos, no problem fitting at all! I bought the plate without the hole and it is a 15 minute fit. Tried it
out today. No engine management light on, less sluggish pulling away from lights, and it feels smoother.
If management light comes on, you can drill a hole in the plate. No modification needed on EGR. 2013 Dynamic Santorini black

I was told by a LR assist guy that my 63 reg F2 TD4 could not have the egr valve blanked off, something to do with from 2012 I think if blanked off some signal that is needed will not be present so goes into limp?

I really should have questioned him more, but he said up until 2012 (I think) it was ok, after that not ok.
