We survived the first offroad mission with the Beast, and, even more important, the Beast is still alive too. New defects are arising every day, but most of them are manageable:

• the actuator of the windscreen wiper is broken (but you can grasp it through the side window and move manually)
• dashboard lights sometimes work, sometimes don’t
• right side mirror sometimes falls out of its frame

 The only two bigger issues are the heating radiator leaking and worrying noises from the 5th gear.
