hi chassis221
had the catalysts checked at the local tyre and exhuast shop was still in good condition on Saterday afternoon removed the battery to clean up and replace the rubber mat beneath it took about 1 hour on the next trip we had no problems
took the wagon to Capetown yesterday for a service about 300km all ok
must have been a sensor or something else
