Well I've fitted a new EGR valve, but it doesn't seem to have solved the main issue I had.
The engine still stutters and jerks at 1500rpm, which is exactly 30mph in town - not exactly handy.
I would say it does run slightly smoother, idle and pick up seems a little better, but little else has changed.
Because the old EGR wasn't especially filthy I didn't remove the metal pipe to clean it out - is it likely to make any difference?
It's fully serviced, and injector cleaner has been run through. It starts easily hot or cold. It doesn't use any oil, and doesn't appear to throw out filthy smoke. It pulls well from any speed.
Any suggestions?
