EGR Valve cleaned but EML light still comes on

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I cleared the fault, and then unplugged the two hoses from the EGR. After about 3 miles the EML light came back on - it was the EGR fault code again. I cleared it again, drove about another 4 miles, and the EML light and the fault code came back again. -
So the EML light came on and when I checked the error code it was 19586 - "EGR System: Regulation Range Exceeded". Following advice read on this forum I removed the EGR valve and cleaned it thoroughly. I cleared the fault code. After a few miles of city driving the EML comes back on, and the code is there again. I have cleared it a couple of times but it keeps coming back. On a longer motorway trip it took about forty miles to come back. But driving around the city it takes only a couple of miles. So my question is do I need a new EGR valve or is there anything else I should try first? Thanks in advance for your help.

I replaced the window regulator on the passenger door (2004 Fabia). But when removing the door carrier I couldn’t release the connector for the door lock mechanism. In the end I resorted to cutting the wires to the door lock. I have reattached everything, including riveting the carrier in place. I have reconnected the wires to the door lock. The window mechanism works fine, but now the door lock doesn’t operate. The three other doors lock and unlock but the passenger door doesn’t. I can hear a tiny continuous electrical hum or buzz coming from the door lock mechanism. Have I damaged the door lock electrics when I cut the wires? Or does it need resetting somehow? Or is it just coincidence and the door lock mechanism needed replacing anyhow? I just wanted to check if anyone had any ideas before I order a new lock mechanism. I also don't want to have to drill out all the rivets again if I don't have to...
