Decided to see if the noise "it's not a wheel bearing" had actually been fixed by replacing 2 wheel bearings.

Pretty confident that its fixed.

Of course this trip did raise some interesting problems.

 

I cannot believe where they managed to get into. All through the engine bay, trapped behind the mudguards. But I've sorted a solution for future trips... Aluminium 4x8mm mesh, using 4x screws and 15x2mm cable ties

 

I am happy to say the Superb coped well in the Aussie west, sitting on 120kmph in 37c heat. I was comfortable and the temp gauge never moved, even after the locusts clogged everything up.

Camped in the back. My 173cm height fitted remarkably well.

And Australia isn't all desert

Just outside of Barrington NSW

Looks and sounds good
