Unconnected Tube?

Was checking the oil level in the defender and I noticed a rubber hose just hanging loose:

I've traced it back and it connects to these black blocks (not sure sure what these are either)

Should it be connected to something?

That looks like part of the EGR system to me.

EGR has probably been blanked off but I not sure what should be done with that pipe.

If nobody else solves the problem I will check mine in the morning as the EGR has been blanked on it.

Exhaust Gas Re circulation.

To reduce emissions some exhaust gas is fed back into the inlet manifold.

Blanking the system on a TD5 makes it run smoother.

The yellow line traces the pipe the leads to nowhere if that helps Bob.

Thanks dorsetsmith. All reconnected. Need to be a little more careful when fiddling about in the engine bay then

Was running the conduit down from the dash to battery box for my mud pod wiring.
