But its not going to affect the performance of your car as all it does is reduce emissions.
I think this is the case but hopefully someone can back me up on this !

yeah my 1.6 use to move like a slug when the Engine Management Light was on cause of the EGR valve.
Apparently its a common fault and u can get it blanked off as well instead of changing it

have a second hand one mate for your engine, fitted it to a 1400 16v, then ripped the engine out so it was hardly used, let me know if you want it

It's a pain in the **** to undo the EGR valve :-( It's located on the lower inlet manifold (as illustrated in the first picture) and not easy to get to.
I took some extra pictures to help people when they have to remove the EGR. Here's a closer look. You have to use a torx-bit to undo the bolts.
You can get a Vauxhall/GM blanking gasket.
