        Well my wiper motor decided to pack in going over kirkstone pass. Pulled over removed glove box and dash pod, popped the linkage off the motor, and the mrs had to manually operate the wipers. She complained that it was to stiff for her so i removed the passenger side wiper arm for her. Made it to lowther castle and managed to get it working temperarlly for rest of tour. She's a good lass, made our first tour 1 to remember ha.

            Apart from having to drive with both windows wide open to stop every window from steaming up, and horizontal hailstone smashing me in the face over the top because of it, the only issue was also running out of fuel 2 miles from the end - luckily I always keep a can in the boot

                      Good:
                      My newly-fitted LSD works. A lot.
                      My brakes are brilliant.

                      Bad:
                      My windscreen leaks. A lot.
                      I want more power.

                          Alternator is cracked
                          And got a slow puncture
                          And 4.1 with 175 50 and a 4 speed box wasnt a good combination
                          Oh and got a bit dirty !

                            My RS2000 was faultless apart from the wet footwells !

                            The tow car (Galaxy Tdi )was a pain the the rear !

                            Kept cutting out & failing to restart, the problem turned out to be the famous VW Audi relay 109 !

                            Replaced it & all is well
                            Cheers Rob.
