Philippe: “We lowered the original square motor mount (and) it improved (vibration) but I think the 200Tdi type will work better. Same height more rubber. I just don t like the dash vibrating at idle; makes the car like a tractor. I think the dash (is) missing a support on passenger side and all the lower screws are not even in! The plan tomorrow morning (Wednesday) is swapping motor mount and realignment of the dash (and) that should be it.”

After ten long weeks, the truck leaves Philippe’s garage and Mr. Wolf’s final (?) shake-down cruise begins. No word on the vibration but, at this point, I think I can live with some serious shaking.
