my engine light issue mentioned a few days back is the EGR valve - garage advice is "it won't break down unless it gets really bad, just see how it goes". £200 odd for the part, looks accessible enough to replace myself, I have the Haynes manual.
Is this actually something no amateur should fuck with? Is the error actually something that could be solved by pulling the unit off, filling it with carb cleaner, and sticking it back on with some liquid gasket?
