Page 2 of 16 take off the covers and ducting, be sure to cover the air intakes to prevent anything entering,
Page 3 of 16 remove the air intake duct shown, remove the actuator, the round thing whith the wires on the end, this is very fiddly and i ended up removing the black bracket undernieth and the long bolt in the top,then i didnt put the back bottom stud back in the actuator, three is enough i think, make sure you replace the black bracket though,
Page 4 of 16 carefuly remove the butterfly rod as shown, remove the butterfly valve,
Page 5 of 16 then reassemble the rod as removed whith out the valve,
Page 6 of 16 then put the whole assembly back together, dont forget to conect the actuator inkage to the rod, this is a basic run down of what to do to remove this valve, just be verry careful not to let anything get into any of the air intake ducts because if you do and then you start the engine it will f k it up big style. also can i please state i cannot be held responsible for any damage caused from any advice given, thanks anyway.

Page 8 of 16 thease are the pipes, use a suitable tool to remove the top clips,
Page 9 of 16 remove the two studs on the flange of the stainless pipe, do not loose the gasket,
Page 10 of 16 remove the pipe and then reasemble whith a suitable blanking plate maide out of stainless plate, and reassemble whith the plate ontop of the gasket. you could put a gasket on the top and bottom if you prefered, this is a picture of the pesky egr valve,
Page 11 of 16 as re assembled,
Page 12 of 16 and do the same procedure for the other side, there is alot less room so be carefull and dont loose your cool, and then dont forget to put the clips back on the pipes and reclip any wires and put the whole thing back together and thats about it. please be carefull and as said above please dont hold me responsible for any damage. my disco has done over 17000miles cince this was done and i have had no problems so i dont see why this wont work for all other cars. i have more pics on my gallery to help so good luck. regards jim.
