Cleaning the EGR valve on a 2004 Jaguar X-Type 2.0D

My Jaguar X-Type started smoking more than usual so I thought I would carry out some 'in-depth' maintenance to help it along. I didn't plan on submitting this to /r/DIY so bare with me if the pictures do not say everything, I will try my best to explain. Although it was a fairly easy job.

Tools needed:

  • Pliers
  • Flat head screwdriver
  • 8mm Ratchet
  • 10mm Ratchet
  • Carb/Brake cleaner, if not petrol works well as a cleaner (Be careful obviously)
  • Degreaser (Not essential, just helps with the cleaning)

Mistakes not to make:

  • The little indents on the air intake clip into slots on the air box, so when pop them of make sure that you pull that part up and away, otherwise you will snap the plastic. - Shown in the 5th picture.
  • Take care not to drop anything down the intercooler pipe or down in the engine, you will have to fish it out otherwise.
  • I've heard of people having problems with the jubilee clip rusting. If that happens and you can't get it off, removing the bumper and cutting it is the next step.

I'm a plumber. I know nothing about wood. What do I need to buy/do to make a horizontal slat trellis and attach it to a block wall outside?

I'm a plumber and I know absolutely nothing about woodworking. At all. So, sorry in advance for my woodworking ignorance. I also don't have any tools to cut wood so I'm hoping that whatever I get, I can have the wonderful home depot employees cut for me when I purchase it.

I want to buy some wood, stain it, and somehow attach it to a block wall (maybe sitting an inch or so off of the block wall?). The block wall is hollow. If I have to I can buy a circular saw but I'm trying to do this for as cheap as possible, so I'm hoping I can get HD/Lowes to cut it for me (also so the wood fits in the car).

It's going to be approximately 5' square.

I'm going to attach the wood to the block wall and then probably attach some type of wire mesh (cow panel maybe?) to the wood for my plants to climb up.

I would love for the wood to look like the long horizontal pieces in this picture

And here is the kind of block wall I'm working with (random internet picture but pretty damn accurate)

Sooo.. please help. Is there a certain type of wood I need to buy that works better outdoors? What stain works best? Any idea approximately what color stain was used in that photo? What's the best way to attach it to the wall? Any input would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you!
