All fixed !!
After having to return to Darwin without the RR and stressing about what could be wrong with it for the last mont or so, i finally had a chance to get back down to collect her.

I had my IID tool ready and EGR blanking kit too . After giving the battery a good charge up i plugged in the the IID tool and read the list of faults . MAF and MAP faults, charge pressure fault, nothing about EGR showing up. I decided to do the the EGR blank off anyway as it was all i could do really.

Once that was done i decided to crank it over and hoped for the best. And just like that she was idling away smooth as silk, not a hint of a miss or any smoke to be seen. What a relief !!

I had a few extra days up my sleeve as i wasn't expecting the fix to be so simple so i spent the time fishing on the beautiful Nambucca river in perfect autumn weather.

Then was the big test 3800km towing a 5m boat north west to Darwin, and she didn't miss a beat and i arrived a full day earlier than the 4 days i had anticipated.

Couldn't be happier !!
