well the story goes, I filled up from almost empty from a forecourt in glasgow, should have be more aware that all the diesel pumps were locked off except one, a bit wise after the event but hey, within 1 hour we then have the egr failure, so just wondering, of course cant say catagorically, but just wondered whether he had filled up earlier on his trip and from where.

would be quite an interesting thread to see who filled up where during a 24 hours prior to any egr failures
discolee, was it a supermarket and how soon prior to the failure did you fill up, how many miles did you drive?

yep same as me only a short distance after filling up, was in very heavy traffic leaving glasgow on a friday night on the M8, so would have done a similar distance before getting to the M74 when it happened, just thought it was the high winds, spookey

We had also just left heavy traffic
I really hope this is the answer to my problem
did you fit blanking plates or replace the EGRs? http://tinyurl.com/eBay-All-things-D3-Now

My power is back !! 
Have ordered the blanking plates from Andy but thought I would try the 2p method
first to see if it was the EGRs that were the problem
Happy to say it was  She now pulls better than ever -prob due to the new air filter also!
will fit the proper blanks when they arrive but at least she is driveable now
Thanks for all the help guys, looks like we can still go away this weekend http://tinyurl.com/eBay-All-things-D3-Now

Glad it's sorted mate
My EGR failure happened after using the millars additive. I usually use Shell fuel, but have used Morrisons, Tesco and Asda's and not noticed any change. Also used the V-Power and Ultimate stuff and also noticed no increase in drivability or performance/mpg.
