Drove it to Mancsville

Made it ok?
Yup :y

Been flawless until this morning when the EML came on after it went swimming through an awfully big puddle.  No loss of power, and it went out next time I started it. No code reader up here to see what it was.


Today, its been around the Peaks and over Saddleworth Moor, no further issues to report once the EML went out earlier. Average MPG since freeing up wastegate a week ago is around 40mpg, which I think is the best you can ask for on an old diesel bus.

Following a repair to the battery wiring and a replacement MAF I drove the Project MV6 to work for the first time in 2 weeks

Got my first 0420 code  ::)

Given MAF issues, reset trims (if your reader can't specifically clear them, put on a fault code, then clear codes - that should reset trims as well), and see if it comes back.

Driving like Miss Daisy will increase the chances of prompt reoccurance by should magnitude.  Long term solution, move the 2nd set of lamdas back behind main cat.

Yesterday, EML came on in exactly the same place, again no loss of power. Went off at next restart.

Today, I purposely took a different route, no EML.

Weird.
