I towed the horse trailer today and the car is still smoking badly. I will try blocking the vacuum line to the EGR valve but I might have to resort to an EGR delete kit if the valve is jammed open.

Block it Glen, it doesn't take 5 minutes, and you'll have a new car.

I think I have found the cause of the smoke, and a few other issues too.

I fitted the EGR by-pass and the silicone hoses between it and the intercooler yesterday.

Mine was a whiny old git too... but it never stopped! It just started one day for no reason and 18 months later it was still whining Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I am slightly nervous about it, because the one on our old TD5 Discovery failed completely shortly after it started making a racket. |
