pic 2 the left arrow, this is a one way valve (green), it should connect to the large air pipe(black) at the rear of the head, the stub it connects to may have broken off and left a hole of about 4mm in the top wall of the pipe, this needs repairing as it controls the vac for the egr and cold start solenoids.
does it start very lumpy from cold, but ok when warm ?? .
the right arrow is the supply to the egr solenoids which comes from the cold start solenoids which are the 2 to the right of the picture, the pipework from them is also non standard

.
i would think someone has blanked off the egr system which isnt a bad thing,but it does look like a bad bodgey way of sorting the pipework.
