today i finally got around to blanking off the egr's, wow what a difference it makes 
one problem, my hands are too big to get into the gaps, my solution, get SWMBO to do it instead so not only do i have my power back but i saved the scrapes and scratches on my hands........i sat back and tightened everything up again once she had got the plates in place and sighted the bolts.
all in a fairly easy thing to do, had more problems getting all the air system out the way.
thanks go to everybody who's posted how to guides as i had 3 or 4 open on the netbook while i was doing it. If in doubt............flat out.
