Default Amazing ODO readings

Well, owned the car for 5 years. Took me to a lot of places.
2007 3.0L S-type
I have the habbit to take a pic when an interesting rare ODO reading is up to.
Usually - taking a pic with ODO and thru front window like saying "look where I am at this distance traveled with my mate Jag.."
Anyone can match or chalenge that reading?

Default Just few days later, at home with through windshield and ODO

New year, same place

But not same quality of ODO. No chalenge

Engine light on is for catalyst emission alarm... Maybe bad O2 sensor.
Instrument at the right is old faithfull Speed Cheeta GPS speed traps alarm.

Check this at quickly as possible as you may ruin your cats. Does the light flash if so then you will be damaging them.

The fault code is P0420: Powertrain - Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 1).

I had severe issues following flood high water reaching the exhaust. Probably cat ruined already. Just to be sure - will change O2 sensors.

flooding in Israel! I thought that would have not been a problem there. How high was the water?

The sensors are quite high and so are the cats but I would think that it is a good idea to start with them as they are cheap.

Are you able to get second hand cats there or will you have to buy new ones if they are damaged.

Hi :-) After each rain session there are floods everywhere here, from north to south. This happen because drains are clogged due to poor maintenance. The specific flood I had been into is during a short rain session, water went down from the Carmel mountain to the lower city and filled the streets, at some places as high as 60 cm. I was driving the heavy traffic when water went up. My mufflers were submerged, and water splashes under the car went up under the engine hood and got its way into the coils sockets. I had severe misfires and engine alerts. I replaced few coils, and likely the misfire did not do good to the cats.
Probably I will have to get a cat, I will let the mechanic find a best solution. I don't think a new one will be required, there are second hand from ruined cars.

The post is actually for reaching and documenting the ODO reading of 222,222 KM exactly.

I saw mine when 123456 (miles) but was driving about 70mph at the time so a pic would've been "awkward" (and illegal).
