you're not allowed to post the same thing twice, and I did ask the mods to separate off your post as it was a little off topic to the OP of the thread

Get the battery tested properly i.e a discharge test chances are you have tested off load with a two bob multimeter

You may need to clean the terminals and leads as there might be something there stopping it getting a good connection.

 

Also i would look into the EGR valve as there prone to getting blocked...
