Got no tools with me pal there all home so can't lol!.
Drove her earlier she cut out on me a few times at first had to keep the revs up, she was ok after 5 mins run like a dream, got back (12 miles) later and she started cutting out on me again.
Every time she started then she cut out on me had to top up the water after she decides to take a leak again... Started her revved her rite up to 6k ish twice them she idled fine...

i was told by a mechanic once or twice that it EGR tends to flag up all the time even if its not the problem. like a miss reading.
plus that the X12XE engine cant plug a computer into it, well.. not one that hooks into a laptop or from ebay. has to be one of the proper mechanic ones.
