Advice please on EGR valves?
At service last week, the garage mentioned that both EGR valves on my Discovery 3 are throwing an error on their diagnostic tool. There are no symptoms at the moment and the mechanic suggested not changing them until they start to cause problems. I have looked all over the internet and prices for new replacements are wildly different. The car is a 2007. Please could someone advise the correct part number and a solid manufacturer? I absolutely don’t want the cheapest if that risks doing the job twice but also don’t want the most expensive if there is a quality alternative.
Many thanks all.

Hi, mines at a similar place so im interested too re recommended parts (I dont want to do a blank). I think the advice to carry on driving is fine, mine showed a check engine light which cleared overnight but still had the code logged when I went to the garrage the next day.
when driving I had the loss of power at low revs which cleared. I have been doing far too many short trips of a mile of so for the last few months which cant help. Getting to the point Im thinking of getting a little econobox car for the local trips and just use the disco for offroad, distnce and tow work.Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2
