I think it'd be nice to have some kind of meetup for people, not suggesting your place mate but maybe somewhere with enough room to park a heap of x40s and have a bbq or something... It's good putting faces to names

Sweet. I should have told you that your car was a goner and offered you £100 for it..... Lol

With regards to a meet, we can start a new thread and discuss it

Worth noting that you can bypass the EGR by simply disconnecting it. (the wire that was faulty in your case)

i think part of the problem was the solenoid failing left the actual valve seized in such a position to make it nigh on impossible to drive. if we'd of blanked it off that might of worked.

i think that was/is the case.
