Right last one on this promise  ;) will having the eml on effect the car it seems to be going really well with it on, its just that I thought if the eml is on it resticts the engine to safe mode or does that only happen on certian sensors etc and this is not one of those sensors  :-?

When EGR is blocked you will get better power, better mileage from fuel..

Good morning all out there  :) right I have reconnected the remains of the egr to the connector and the EML has gone out , so yes it does need to be left connected . I  have managed to find another good valve (Thank you Henry at las_jacarandas :y) and I will fit this when it arrives I know everyone seems to think its ok to blank them  :) but why would it be there if its not needed . Anyway as I said thanks for all the help on this I was really worried something major had happened to the car yesterday afternoon espsecially when it would not start and was running really bad when it did fire up then the eml flashing on/off  :o I just hope everyone else can get sorted as easily as I have  :y

Its needed for emissions (which aren't checked), so not really required.  Does (marginally) improve mpg whilst cruising.

I have just brought a s/h one for £15 delivered so its worth refitting rather than having it cable tied to the air box as it is at the moment  ::)  
Thank you las_jacarandas  :y

Worth fitting at that sort of money, just so everything is 'right'.
