After inspecting the broken gaiters on our outer CV joints we have decided to go ahead and order new ones. Even if they could last another 10-15000km´s replacing the gaiters are the same amount of work as replacing the entire CV joint. As we could not find any good offers in Norway, we have had to order for the UK. This will probably keep the car off the road for another 2 weeks, but it should give us time to sort out the other things that have come up:

• Fix cooling fan thermostat (will try to get replacement part fabricated)
• Replace one of the radiator hoses
• New fuel return hoses from the injection ports

Biltema shopping list:

• Radiator hose
• Spare regulator/brushes for alternator (63-311005)
• Electric cooling fan (32-310)
