it at the front of the engine under the duratorque cover..
sidelights in the rear by gutters
orange with blue tracer on O/S
orange with green tracer on N/S
Beware there is 3 of these colors on each side so you will need to test with multimeter first..

it will if its all gummed up, but if its fairley clean it wont make a lot of difference if any.also blank egr while your doing it thats what causes them to gum up
