Had an engine code go for the EGR in my car a few months in. Turns out it shorted and blew a terminal on the ECU, needed a new ECU which was not a nice way to break-in the new car!
Hopefully it's something simple, the issues you mentioned are probably a good place to start with some DIY maintenance though. Taking out and cleaning the EGR valve was the first thing I'd had to do on my own car and was a good place to start. (unlike the guy above who's first job was a timing belt change. Lunatic, in the most positive way!)

Thanks both. I've picked up an error code reader and will see what it's saying tomorrow. I bought a couple of coils too because there was 50% off and I'm sure at some point it will be useful if not now.
It seems like if it's not the ignition coil, it could be the fuel injectors or the EGR. Neither of which I would be too confident tackling myself, so fingers crossed.
