FFS Jason....
If you took nearly three months and around 500 posts to remove a f g wheel nut, how long is this EGR thing going to last?
Seriously - from what I've seen, it's fiddly, but certainly not difficult....just make sure you've got a decent tool kit and allow yourself a full day and you'll be sorted.....
And stop worrying so much - just download the instructions from the BAS website or look at the fantastic threads from Ridgeback Moor and others. In fact I think you're the only one who said that it should never be done 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Tried my hardest Simon to, but the offers from dealers fell short of a cash offer in the tune of approx 4k, and the loss of a reliable D3 when sold for cash and then buying another was too much a gap with my issues at home. SO for now she remains, still maintained immaculately and ready for the next journey or owner. How more positive can I be.

It takes nearly as long to read the instructions as to do the job.
