Forgot to mention.....after help from a forum member, my EGR's have been blanked on my 2007 RRS TDV6 for 2 days without an engine management light on yet.
I kind of expect it to come on but nothing as yet.
I'm on a 7A chassis number....

Will keep you posted.

Do you reckon you've noticed any improvement?

Even if the valves were fine getting all that filth out of the throttle body has got to help a little. Uck! It never fails to amaze me.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Well....it maybe my imagination because I know my engine is finally breathing fresh air but it feels more lively.
I also don't get the big black cloud behind me when it kicks down.  I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

Oh, so you did have black smoke then. In that case, they probably were failing.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Hi, what's the score boys in a nut shell, what can be done to my 2007 to blank, or eliminate these wonderfull EGR's and get her breathing fresh air  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

mine have been blanked for about a year now and i have never had light on

What year you got there cossiedave ? did you just blank them (and how) or full removal of pipes etc. I did a full removal on my D3 but Ive heard that it needs to be in place soon fot the M.O.T ??  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

Mine was a pipe removal and blanking plates.
Even if the MOT regime is changed, I can't see it affecting cars built before the MOT change date.
You just can't do it retrospectively.
It would be like telling every motorist that they must fit DRL's because new cars have them. I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

mine is an 06 and i removed all pipes and butterfly in throttle body, not sure about mot

cossiedave, as yours is a EU3 model, there is no need for a software patch and you don't even have an engine MIL to illuminate!

GH, like Gaz's, yours will require emulators and/or a software patch (usually applied as part of a remap) to prevent the MIL from illuminating. It has been known for the light to take many months to show itself so it's not unlikely for it not to appear immediately.

I hope too that the MOT change will not affect earlier vehicles, but, the worst case scenario is that emulators would have to be fitted and the pipes put in place with only single blanking shims. This would then be undetectable to an MOT tester.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Cheers LFW that makes perfect sense to me Just to ask the question if the pipes were left in place, would you blank at the top or the bottom ?? (on the EGR valve) 2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

Bottom, as it's flat.

Would be nice and easy if someone could come up with something that'd fit the top end though. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Now for a stupid reply, would the 2p trick not work this time ?? or am I at the wrong end of the pipe !  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

Temporarily, yes.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
