My Variant is telling me it needs me to give it some time - in Germany it was
fine, then the day after we got back, with just me and no Anne or camping gear
one CV joint started clacking again, just enough to annoy.  It's stopped again
now, but will probably begin again soon, or maybe as I've noticed a few drops of
oil under the engine, it's trying another subtle approach to get attention.
Thank goodness Anne isn't like that.   ;-)
