Two things:
1) Car supermarket in Slough - I take it you mean Trade Sales on the Bath Road going west from Slough?
2) I would strongly suggest you get the oil pump chain and tensioner plus lower sprockets sorted while it’s all apart for the cam belt - see threads on this subject, yours is due at 128k miles and iffy service history.
Hi Charles, Try this on ebay at £5.99While we (I include my son in this - we’ve got a few father/son projects on the go) we’re under the bonnet I took a peek at the EGR valve area;
There’s a lot of oil in the area which doesn’t look good.
We tried to get access by removing the heating duct, but hit a snag. I’ve seen some suggestions that the two torx fixings under the scuttle panel can be accessed without removing the wiper. It doesn’t appear to be the case here;
So Plan B involved taking the wiper off. While the 16mm nut came off easily the wiper didn’t budge. There’s not easy leverage to be had, so it looks as if I’ll need a small puller to make any more progress.
I’ll post on one of the EGR threads but if anyone reads this; tips welcome!

What DA polisher did you buy? It's on my birthday list
Thanks. I will check it out ?It was a Meterk bought on Amazon for about £80-. There are plenty more expensive but this seems to do the job and looks robust enough for an amateur. We used Macquires compound and polish (Halfords were as cheap as anywhere) and there are loads of videos on YouTube to learn from:

Anti shudder valve removedThe problem is this next component, the one with what looks like a vacuum feed and an oily witness to something going wrong:
Can someone tell me what I’m looking at?
It’s an ATL motor.
