take the battery and the header tank of and look behind the inlet and you will see a cylinder shaped object coming from the lower inlet at around a 4 o clock angle

yeah i think a blankin plate is gonna b the way to go.
been to local garage and ws told EGR is not cheap, but i knew that anyway, but they can put in blankin plate and reset ecu, for £65+vat.
wd u say thats a good price?
i wdnt know where to start doin it for myself!!
