Yes, classic EGR valve stuck open due to gunking up fault (common across all modern diesels, check the forums). But what do I know, I've only done it...

Green gui the kit on ebay consists of a straight through front pipe to get rid of the cat and a blanking plate and a few bits n bobs to bypass the egr, looks fairly simple

This co does a good moderate tune for your TD5;Alive Tuning

Be aware that your DMF and etc will not cope with any increase in HP above the standard so you will have to add an allowance to change the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch plate to solid.

Removing the EGR is a standard mod and makes little difference.

This re-map does make a small positive difference to the MPG and removes that horrible built in LR strangle the engine suffers from.

 

I have two friends, both brothers, who have taken the tuning of these 5 pot engines to an extreme. With care you can have minor excessive black smoke and a 0 to 60 time of under eight seconds! To make a disco perform like this says something about the engines potential. They are still drivable round town too.
