I have just got rid of 4 pages from my website and they have been replaced by new pages, the old ones still rank in Google and when people click onto them they get page cannot be displayed, there is no navigation to the old pages and I have changed my sitemap and my feed, will this do the trick? I only made the changes a few days ago how long is it likely to take before Google removes the old pages? I know some sort of redirect might help, is this dodgy? If it is not dodgy how do I set this up? I am not a professional web designer by a long shot, I use dreamweaver.

If Google crawls your website frequently then they will be out of Google's index (hopefully) in a week or so. I believe there are official channel in which you can have them removed but it would probably take just as long.

Always redirect your traffic when you renew your site.
Wheter you change the hierachy or remove some pages. Follow the traffic and when it stops you can safely remove those pages.
Also remeber that there can be links to those pages, so checking your traffic is vital in that part too. You dont want to leave broken behind because they will propably get removed and you will lose precious links to your site.

Isn't it annoying to see those page not found messages after clicking on the links on SERPs!  Anyway, thanks for that link.

The most effective way to make googlebots crawl your pages more frequently is not meta tags but changing the crawl rate in Google webmaster tools.

Definitely your old pages will take some time to remove from the Google index. Google updates its entire index automatically on a regular basis. If Googlebot encounters a "Not Found" 404 error page on your site, it doesn't crawl it further and deletes the outdated link from the next crawl.
