Checked it over for MoT, fitted outer track rod to N/S and could not get outer track rod end off on the O/S so now have to order inner and outer for both sides in the morning, bugger. Still have to have it set up once they are fitted and get the MoT done by next Monday.

Stripped it down to get to handbrake switch again, due to a moment of doubt. No nearer to resolving, as the bloody thing has fixed itself again :(

Left Samadet in SW France at 08:30. 650miles later we arrived at Calais at 17:50. Drove on the boat 25minutes after that.
Now in the pub 3miles from home wiith some dinner.
