I'd try the 'hard reset' and see if rebooting the system clears a potential glitch in the software - its large based on a Microsoft core.

To do a reset of the system you remove the positive a negative leads from the battery and then touch the two together, purging any residual power in the system, leaving the leads disconnected over night isn't as effective as the above technique. |

Ok will give that a try because today the EML came on again but when I got home I left it for a couple of hours and the light has gone off again but I will try the hard reset routine if it occurs again as I suspect it will ! The car is at the stealers on Thursday for front ARB BUSHES , not sure if to mention what's been going on this last 2 weeks in case they spend time checking stuff out then charging me a small fortune |

Hi Bodsy , is it always a case of renewing EGR valves or is there a way of fixing ? ( if you decide not to blank them ) |

Fault codes read and has come up as suspected EGR Valves defect . So far the performance from the car has not changed ( no loss of power and no black smoke out the back ) have been advised as not to worry about them yet , strangely the EML has gone out and been off for passed 3 days |
