Default SMax 2.0l TDI wont run

Evening all, a neighbour over the road has a 2.0l diesel Smax and it had the EML light come on, took it to a garage that tuned it off and it was ok for a couple of days then came back on. While exiting the motorway the car lost all power and kicked out a ld of black smoke before going into limp home mode and he drove it home.
Then after that it wont run.

It starts, but cuts out after a second max.

Anyone got any ideas? The garage he took it to suggested the EGR valve is fucked, but it looks like a right git to get to.

I know fa about diesels so not been much help.
