will take some pictures as I am working to find a fault.
Did you find out what the fault was, i have just put all the cleaned egr and throttle body back together with new gaskets and on the test drive it appears to have the same symptoms. It has no power until about 3000 revs? There seems more smoke than before too....

I had the same problem and after removing the egr valve again, found lots of crumbs of soot wedged in the valve plates.

Runs like a dream :-)
