I've been getting this code a few times now, which means EGR failure, as far as I am aware its not a neccesary system, but that little yellow light gets annoying, what can I do to get it off?

I'll leave that one alone, since this is definitely the wrong forum.

Yes, the EGR is not a necessary system - just like brakes aren't necessary if you plan and execute your trips well.

The typical problems with the EGR are plugged exhaust passages in the intake manifold, a plugged or sticking EGR valve, failed EGR solenoid, failed vacuum lines, or defective diagnostic temperature switch. Most of thess (other than the vacuum lines and solenoid) will usually require removal of the intake plenum for access. As long as you're going there, you might as well be prepared replace the valve and temperature sensor and be done with it for another ten years. Without the diagnostice temperature sensor input, you'll have a constant SES lamp unless you reprogram the ECM PROM.
