I had this same problem years ago, have you tried disconnecting the small vacuum pipe that operates the EGR valve and try a short run then? If it is the same setup that I came across you'll find that the small pipe goes to a block that should have a small filter on it, may be a disc and possibly green it's a service item changed at EVERY service only a couple of quid!
When you disconnect the small vacuum pipe do it while the engine is ticking over if possible-taking care not to get caught by anything or burned and you may hear a knock (could be loud!) as the valve closes.
Block the end of vacuum pipe and give it a run, if ok then get a replacement filter element/disc.
