It is becoming a daily ritual a walk along the coast for a bout 2 miles to the town. Either the shopping mall or the main Plaza. Tom has a comprehensive list which we are trying hard to tick of things everyday. Not sure we will survive another 4 days of this. The blog has been updated if nothing else.

Met with the general manager of BMW Chile who is English, really helpful but advises the drives from the bikes in Santiago will not fit and it would be quicker if I order the parts myself and ship them from UK than they order parts through their system.

Got onto Cathy at Vines who said could get parts by tomorrow and would ship. £1000 for drive 250 shipping. Fingers crossed
