The EGR was full of gunk looled like tar and was caked all over the egr i dont think it has been taken off ever. The gunk was at least 2mm thick anyway i cleaned off all the gunk.amd carbon using coca-cola and lettin the EGR soak for a hour or two then i.carried on cleaning it down until it looked newish,refitted it and took landy for a spin got 90mph out of it no more struggaling at 70 and loosing power.....
Sometimes the basics get overlooked.

Should have fitted an EGR bypass after taking off the original EGR so that the gunk doesn't build up again
