I'm sitting in an outdoor cafe across from Dean's (my mechanic) and with my Defender in view. It seems that the problem with the inoperative headlights was not the switch after all. They think it has something to do with connection to the wiring with the horn. If they do not have a new one on site, they will try to repair the current one. Installing a new one would require an extra day's delay. But if they repair it, i would prefer to take new spare parts anyway, so i suspect we are talking about Tuesday anyway.
Since my mobility issue started two years ago, i have been using a cane for long walks, a big cane made of wood that looks like it has a story behind it and that I was planning to take on this road trip. Unfortunately, this morning, the handle on it broke off. Had it hapened on the road i would have lost a half day looking for a new one. If it's not one thing, it's another
