:D guess I'm just getting dementia earlier than you then ! :lol:


Shouldn't have retired so early. :lol:

Let me know how you get on with blanking the EGR.

That and turning the mid-range fuelling up will make a very noticeable difference.

well last night I tied the butterfly up with a tiewrap and adjusted the fuel pressure by turning the screw 1.0 turn clockwise and the difference is amazing !
I warmed her up round the village first and it was clear that she was trundling along energetically on virtually idle.

I then charged up our nearest hill which is half a mile long ,twisty and a steep 250ft climb and I had to back off the throttle on the bendy bits !... wow!....

I even managed to get in 4th gear comfortably near the top and she was accelerating the whole time. :D

If you read this and haven't yet done this simple mod you owe it to yourself. This is a 3x Ton LWB campervan ,imagine what a difference it would make to an empty van ! think about it :wink:

I'll order up a blanking disc today and fit that and make sure I keep that link rod somewhere safe in case I need it for the MOT .....now where have i left my keys?....... :lol:

My thanks to Colin and Matt and others for the advice and taking the time to guide me through it.
