The p1403 code refers to the EGR valve.

The p1404 code relates to additional heating circuit 2 and pre heaters (glow plugs).

Be careful with the fault codes, they can just be "clues" at first.

This tread explains what happened when I had these codes........http://407oc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t= ... 83899751a6

Yes Teamy, the ECU sort of 'hints' at what may be wrong, but it won't tell you what's actually wrong - bit like a Woman really :roll:
