2005 Vauxhall Combo Starter Motor saga!?

Hi,
Many Thanks for all your expert advice Wickham.
I have now fitted a 2009 starter motor to my 2005 Combo & it starts instantly now. I have checked the EGR valve as you explained & it was seized closed, I freed it with WD & put it back, but I still have a slight misfire.
Would it have damaged the EGR solenoid?
Please can you advise.

Forgot to say,if you need an injector,think I have one lying somewhere,post a message with your phone no.and will arrange to get it to you.

Dont think your misfire will have damaged the EGR valve but think your smoke problem will have improved,maybe worth getting a code reader onto it for a look at codes stored and you didn`t say if you had changed the fuel filter or checked your valve timing,if your timing chain is at fault you may hear a tinkling from that side of the engine,have had crankshaft sensors away on these,at front of engine half way up the block near g/box,torx 30 screw holds it on,maybe worth a look but not had many injectors or high pressure pumps away on these,just leaky pumps but the motors still run ok,maybe a compression test would point out a low compression on a cyl. also but maybe it would be worth getting Tech2 put onto it first for a look at DTC`s,good luck
