Thanks Tiny. Good to know theres another option out there. I can't drop that kind of money on a fault reader though. Will probably ask around first to see if anyone has a compatible device in my locality.

Mine's a 2003, production date being Dec of that year according to vindecoderz. It's pre-facelift anyway, so I suppose that means a dealer job for the code reading. :(

Yeah actually it did give me some slight trouble on first fitting but it was more to do with a knackered jubillee clip on the rubber intake pipe into the EGR. I was getting some whistling while acelerating and on inspection it turned out the clip wasnt tightening fully. Fitted a new clip, locked...

Finally fitted my EGR blank today. Has anyone else experienced one or two failed starts immediately after fitting? Beforehand, the car started on first turn of key, after fitting it only coughed into life on the third attempt and was even lumpier idling that usual for a few seconds. Then all was...
