hi
@Dandy
sorry for my tardy reply...we have been out of service for some time in the Flinders Ranges and on the Oodnadatta track. Now in Coober Pedy and catching up on things.
From memory it cost me no more than $1500 for the EGR clean and catch can.

For interest sake our fuel consumption has ranged from 20 to 26 L/100km depending on headwind, hills, corrugations etc. We are travelling at weight limits as you can imagine with 9 of us! 3800 for the cruiser and 3000 for the van.
All in all very happy with how things are going. We have rattled a few things loose on the expanda over the Oodnadatta and various tracks. Lost a couple of doors, the oven has pooped itself and we have the most bizarre collection of screws fallen out from goodness knows where?!
Must say that the IGA in Coober Pedy has the most amazing hardware section...who knew!!
Will attempt a more complete update on our travels when time and internet connection permit - probably Alice Springs - the kids will need to start doing some school work.
