Came into college this morning and when driving in the good old EML came on!
stopped @ a junction and my revs were bouncing from 800-500!!!
It has done this before when the EGR valve gets blocked (usually if I give it a quick blast) and it usually requires me to give it another quick blast although I am not soo lucky it seems 
I know for a fact im going to struggle to start it later as it never usually starts unless I slam my foot down when turning the ignition!
