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.

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
