I drove the car from Melb to Syd today...I was going to do that next week but my flight this morning was cancelled and they moved me to another flight 12hrs later and I had an important meeting at 2pm...so it was 5:30am and I thought I would risk driving the car up. I drove up non stop almost breaking my bladder but had to test whether the EGR valve was the cause.

It didn't miss a beat...it was perfect, although 1 trip a solution does not make but it is looking good. The next trips will be at Easter time so I am making the assumption that those 2 trips will also be ok.

So unless it happens again I am now considering this issue as resolved...finally.

Thanks for every single one of your comments...greatly appreciated
