Not sure of the name of the garage as the car is under warranty, bought from a local 2 man operation, its somebody they use.  If I get the name I'll post it.

Its a shame they fitted so much stuff when all it probably needed was an EGR valve...

Out of interest, what were the symptoms?  Would a sticking EGR cause lower-than-expected idle revs/rough idling? Anything else?

One of the things I keep meaning to have a look at on ours...

It had the classic Omega idling prob and it struggled to rev past the 4000 rpm mark.  Sorted now though ;D
