£160 later (not counting the emergency RAC membership) we're back on the road. We've noticed a dramatic improvement in Vinnie's health - he had always been very heavy in the steering (so much so that I was reluctant to drive him) and now it's a breeze! The whole vehicle seems lighter and more manageable which is nice, although the main beneficiaries will be the people who are going to babysit him for several months for us while we are in Asia.
We leave for Japan next Wednesday for 11 days, then have a few days in Dubai visiting Helen then on to India!
