    Not second hand( I wouldn't be arsed with the likes of a used EGR valve personally),but;

    I used this lot a few months back for an egr valve for a Mark IV Golf and found them to be grand.

    2nd hand egr's are a waste of time imo,your better off going new,say you gave €50 for a second hand one,a month later it starts giving trouble,your 50 quid down and no further on,its 50 you could have put toward a new one which should last a duration,thats how i look at it,any decent motorfactors,micksgarage should have them or as above ebay if you so wish,if your close to the border try the north,i'm ordering a egr for me van shortly,its €170 plus vat at the main dealer here in the south,the main dealer in the north is £100 plus vat,i know where i'll be buying it

    Hi,
    I have a 06 Honda Accord and due to my stupidity forgetting to put the hand break on I have mangled the boot, does anyone know the best place to get a boot for one of these, off the dealers a new boot is way out of my price range and the local scrap yards I have tried don't have any.
    Thanks in advance

    i have done a few egr's now, i just removed them and cleaned them up with a bit of petrol, had them nice and free movement on the valve and cleaned up the pipes leading to it and from it
    1st one i did was about 2 years ago and it hasn't given any trouble since

    I think it depends on the type of valve too, but worst case is if it doesn't work is your out a bit of time
