Mine is exactly the same as foxeiy described i recently had new compressor fitted at stealers and the service manager commented on this but said nothing was showing up so thinking of blanking the egrs ,slow as f  when pulling out of junctions.

Big thanks to Pete at Bells for getting them sent out to me so quick................

when I bought my kit it had instructions to remove the inlet butterfly valve. probably robbed as I paid more than a fiver.
Is everyone just blanking the EGR's?
Never looked back since I did it, now a year

Wildrover - there is a difference between the two methods.
One is to simply insert thin(ish) blanking plates on the outlet of the EGRs and leave the pipes etc in place. The will still obstruct (albeit very slightly) the inlet side of things
The second option is the full kit which you (and I) installed - this has thicker end caps to allow you to completely remove the EGR pipes and seal them off at both ends.
In both cases, you would need to jam open (or preferably remove) the butterfly valve....once you blank the EGRs, then the butterfly valve would effectively strangle the engine at low revs as it closes to try and force the engine to breath the gases from the open EGR valves (which we've just blanked off). 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Yeah i fitted the full kit to mine so the pipes were removed fully and i removed the butterfly valve as well, no point jamming it open just as easy to remove it completely.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your advice and feedback....
I've now ordered a blanking kit from Bel Autos and will hopefully get it fitted next week !!
Really looking forward to approaching an island or a junction without breaking out into a cold sweat !!!!
Its a nightmare to pull away with at the mo, could walk faster !!
Will keep you updated with the results !!

Its fixed  !!!!
Bought the Bell auto kit and blanked off the EGR valves, due to not having enough time to fit it my self had it fitted by a mechanic which cost about £50.00 labour and its all back to normal !!!
Thanks everyone for all your help !!
So relieved and pleased !!!
