Northumberland Borders Rally - Car 12, navigated by Richard Clark
OTL due to oil leak
An amazing event, long superb tests, a mixture of surfaces, a great night time road rally only let down by PVW losing her brake pedal and an oil pressure gauge pipe bursting causing a spectacular oil leak, the source of which, at night and in the cold, was difficult to locate. So a slow limp back to the finish with lots of topping up of oil. An overnight kip in Richard's van, as the breakdown service could not get to us until the next day and the ignominious return on a low loader! Servo ditched and oil pipe replaced and all fixed within an hour of getting home.
