Again, thanks for your responses, Question, wouldn't blanking the EGR off fail the emissions test? Going to have to leave all til next weekend now before get the chance to have a play and see if can get it sorted, mpg is now 20, better than 11 but not great, and watching petrol gauge steadily eat through a full tanks worth of fuel
Coming up to a week now that I have owned this car and so far these are issues that I have to fix if anyone can point me in direction or advise of poss' solutions, as don't get much time to get on-line and there's an awful lot of info available on here to search through so far: Key fob doesn’t work, got a new battery and replaced but still dead, passengers door handle doesn’t retract once door opened and have to push it back down otherwise door won’t shut/latch, drivers heated seat doesn’t heat, Audio – 7000 RDS system works but no display so having to guess lol, brake wear warning light in overhead display is lit, I am told by seller that when mot was done tester said brake pads were fine and must be a dodgy wire? Also exterior bulb failure warning light is on although all lights work? However, as this is a 1998 reg car I see from a thread somewhere on here that 1998’s were not fitted with this warning light? A variety of different candle power bulbs that need to be sorted out for the right ones, on that note the 12v 6w wedge base for side lights, I can only find 12v 5w? is this what you use? oh and as on reply that hasn't posted, the oil, is it 5/30 Fully Synthetic? Thanks again to everyone for your replies and welcomes 
." will check that out.
