has anyone got any ideas why?

firstly, it's not the EGR, it's the secondary air injection system.

there could be two possible causes :-

first is that the one-way valve isn't closing. This is the plastic valve attached to the rear of the radiator shroud.

second is that one of the cats might be blocked.

In any case, the cause is that exhaust is able to flow forwards through the rubber hose, rather than the true situation, which should be air only flowing at start-up.

.....and of course, 90% opf Omegas have had this entire system removed, so it is no longer a problem.
