SO !!

The day I had been looking forward to was finally here, I borrowed a second car from work and drove the 100 miles (not 200 as previosuly stated) to pick it up at SSP, with my brother so that he could drive that car back to Oslo again.

Started it and made that beautiful sound again BUT... yes, there´s a but.. (hopefully no biggie) - the light for D in the dash blinks (same interval as an indicator does) while in Drive. As opposed to staying lit. Also the lighs for the different gears 1-5 does are not on at all. After a little Googling I decided it was safe to drive off. (The shop had closed 2 hrs earlier) and 1 hour into the drive and no problems. Then, the D light suddenly changed to stay lit - then started blinking again... Turned off the highway as the power from the engine sort juddered a little. Turned the engine off and on. Did a little driving on some backroads, and no problems - but still blinking in Drive (does not blink when in Park / Reverse / Neutral).

Just came back home now. A little anti climax he he .. but I did some more Googling and there could be different issues to be dealt with. More on that tomorrow, so tired and will turn in soon.

And will also take pics + post them here from the bearing as promised!
