BigA:
can you not just disconnect the loom from the EGR and see what happens?

The problem with that idea is, what would I expect to happen?

At the moment the EGR valve and hose is removed (has been for some time) but I can't say I noticed any change in the vehicles performance/smoke levels. What I have recorded is that since the EGR was removed the fuel consumption has gone up by about 4mpg and was wondering if not having the EGR fitted is confusing the EDC controller into over-fuelling the engine.

I'll refit it at the weekend and monitor fuel consumption for a couple of weeks.

BigA:
ahhhhh..... you have, its all clear now
