Ulgii
Decision time. Easy southern route or more tricky central/northern route?
Mongolia!
Got both rear suspension coils replaced with Toyota spare - noticed that struts are basically fucked but nothing we can do about that now. Crossed over to Mongolia and arrived in Ulgii - stopped to help the Korean team kn the way in and met them in a restaurant later.
Kosh-Agach
During a fantastic drive from Biysk to Mongolian Border through the valley and mountains - Noticed a sound from rear left tyre - we originally thought it was tyre wear or wheel balance problem - turns out to be suspension coil - and both rears! In middle of nowhere and late. - apparently there is one garage and one parts shop in this 'town' so see what happens tomorrow!
