With great difficulty, jokes. Which way did you go up? Through Nata and Kasane? I know that road is terrible. Up my side the roads are not to bad at all, well most of them.

Finally got a chance to do some work on the car. Was in the process of changing the coolent and putting a new resivour on when i discovered that pretty much every pipe in the cooling system in filled with rust, joy... Really not a fan of the person i bought this car from. Looks like the added some sort of odd temperature sensor. Will upload some pictures asap. Hope the rest of you guys are having better luck than me.
