Troubles on Iceland trip

Just got off the ferry from iceland and had a couple of problem there likr the bolt holding the transfer case on sheared and it nearly fell off so got that sorted and did another 7000 miles and the sharp lava roads Fu### 2 tyres and they wanted 250 quid each so got a second hand one for 40 quid which got ub back to germany where I got 2 mtchekin lattitude cross for 370 euros for 2.
On the last day in nIceland the starter refused to turn over but after a bit of cursing and jiggling it started and got me to the ferry .but nearly refused to start when getting of the ferry so I replaced the starter motor in germany as well asnother 400 euros,
Got to poland today and went to Gadansk for the afternoon but when I started it there was a loud bang and rattle so stopped the engine and looked under the bonnet and the belt tensioner bracket had broken so now I got to find anoyher one here .
I am due to cross into Russia in 3 days time so wish me luck as so far not so much
Iceland was an awesome trip but the mountain roads were not open so didnt get to do all we wanted so looks like we will have to go back for the third time to do them

Sorry I posted this in the wrong thread the first time

Hope the rest of your journey goes well

Good effort. Starter sounds a bit painful.

when I fitted the new one its amazing how much faster the engine spins and it starts from hot with a lot less turning over

Yes, that's one of the reasons the hotfix was required!
