Forge Land Rover Discovery 3 EGR blanking plugs

Hot off the back of their recent silicone hose kits, the engineers at Forge have been busy creating further enhancements for the TDV6 2.7 litre Land Rover Discovery 3. Their new EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) blanking plates will improve the performance of all 5A or 6A chassis models (up to 2006).

Machined from stainless steel billet, these precision engineered components have been made in Forge’s Gloucestershire factory and like the car itself, are suitably over-engineered to ensure a perfect fit without distortion or leakage.

So why remove the EGR valves anyway? Well, even blanking off a perfectly functioning valve will increase engine power and drivability. Factor in the partial blockages suffered by most as a result of time and repeated short journeys – and the improvements can be quite noticeable. Blocked EGR valves can lead to power loss, poor running and sub-standard fuel consumption, meaning these plugs are an essential modification to any Disco 3.

All four components are priced at £41.00 + VAT and bolt up as direct replacements.
