Keeping your van going past 200K?

It is by specialist mechanics for these vans, but obviously not by the manufacturers. I'm seeing how it goes for now, but since having it done I've not noticed any ill effects. October brings the MOT so I'll see if emissions are affected. Anything I should look out for ?

On all the landrovers it improved things, I certainly removed a ton of rubbish from the inlet manifolds when I did it.
I don't know what the ill effects are other than it can increase emissions to beyond the MOT limits on some engines, but if its recommended by specialist mechanics I think you'll be fine.

I have done this mod to plenty,but some later vehicles use the EGR for reasons such as killing heat to the pistons. The 2.8tdi i have,has this mod from almost new,but the 3.0 version,requires additional gadgets and safeguards. All lot of the early transits,died as a result of EGR's just "doing their job"

The model specific forums,are usually the place to get advice of this nature,where lads who do the big mileages,know all the angles.

Remember,although a lot of engines do not need the help or hinderance,of an EGR,the ECU may expect to see feedback or data,confirming it is still connected to something,and the common add-ons available to fool it,may be judged to be a "modification of an anti-pollution device",come MOT time I have several friends,in the commercial vehicle sector,who have had very,very expensive sagas,re; DPF's and SCR's at VOSA's behest
