Thanks, will do!!

Thanks, will do!!

Ok so garage said they would blank off and delete - sound ok? planning to sell her within a couple of months.

Gosh that's a shocker - the dirt and grease!!

Injectors have been replaced twice, but not recently. I am actually trading up the jeep in a couple of months time, so I suppose I am looking for the simplest/cheapest short term solution. Its not due a test till October, (in Ireland). What is an unobtrusive egr delete?

Ok, so full disclosure, I only come here when I need something. As I know next to nothing about engines, most of the discussions are way above my paygrade. Anyway, engine light lit up yesterday, went into garage, put diagnostics on it. Came up as EGR - they gave me two options. Replace...

Thanks, hadn't read the whole of the thread yet!! Have now found the link to the reg check, but my reg is Irish so doesn't work. But looks like mine "should" be a euro 4 - as it was registered in Sept 07 and euro 4 is post Jan 2006

@TonyP How do you find out if it is a euro 3 or 4?

Well its still happening. So I am thinking next step is to change the short scv for a long one. Can anyone send me a link to what I am looking for? The new ones sold for the 2007 prado look very short?? Here is link to what I have found, is it what I am looking for? And will I get kicked off...

@Shayne those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end:cry:

@Tractionman here in IReland they call them jeeps, but at least they see a bit of work over here, and you rarely find one without a tow bar. However, in the UK - don't get me started (I am british by birth but have lived in Ireland over half my life) - the nearest thing a lot of them get to...

For some reason I got locked out of the thread for a couple of days:neutral: - but just to update, even with a full tank of diesel on board the jeep (I can't call her a truck -sounds like delusions of grandeur) she is now flying up the hill she was failing on, so figure it must have been the new...

@karl2000 - I did!! Had a disco before I had the two LC's - it was definitely fubar'd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Tractionman - two separate injector issues a few years apart. Major engine garage did the work both times. Not sure tbh how many/what was replaced either time. But from reading threads here today and checking my VIN - mine was one of the recalls for injectors. But I only bought her (2007...

@Tractionman thanks for that - looked at a few detailed links, quite fiddly for dummies! I have had my injectors changed/cleaned twice, am I right in thinking there is a possibility the egr was cleaned then? Sod's law, now I have started a thread all about my issue it seems to have disappeared -...

@karl2000 - super thanks for the pics I will have a look and sus them out. I appreciate all the info. No idea on the code, tbh not sure the garage had much ideal either!!

Hi all, bear with me, newbie here. I spent the weekend trawling through old (and not so old threads) - have found similar issues in similar age LC's - 2007 DVD LC3 (I think, SWB with spare on back door) - 320,000 km I am not a DIY'er so everytime there is an issue it goes to the garage. To be...

I know this is an older thread but explains what happened to my LC3 recently when battery was disconnected - LHS window would not budge for love nor money. Into garage they said no I needed a new master switch - quoted 450e. Not happening I said, too much of a coincidence. Car alarm had also...

@karl2000 thanks for reply. To answer your questions 1 - Fuel filter changed this week. No change. 2 - I need to ask the garage and look up the threads on that. 3 - Spent the morning working out what the MAF sensor is and does - will have to ask the garage if/when it was cleaned Seems to be...

Hi all, Long time lurker on this site - not technically minded, so constantly looking up abbreviations etc but keen to learn. Here in Ireland my LC is called a jeep, but I gather I should be calling her a "truck"? On my second LC - have had her 11 years now, been very reliable until recently...
