    So the AA guy tested my sensor and it's giving erratic readings so he said even though it's 12 months old it's probably the sensor, he said he has known some to break in a month, i shall order a replacment and keep you UPDATED,

    soot was reading as 50% but registerd a failed regen which he said would be the sensor

          S#!t parts .made to fail so it keeps people employed making them.
          I had a lower wishbone on my car replaced for the MOT this year.
          It was replaced 2 years ago
          And I've done less than 10000 miles.
          Everything has a time bomb fitted.

                Should there be a gasket showing with a threaded hole ?

                      That's what egr's end up like always clean them as part of regular maintenance.
