This trip was a bit easier than I expected. Got to the warehouse a bit after midday and they had it ready to go. They brought it out immediately and left it with the key on the dash so we did not have to be in direct contact with anyone. I am pleased with the services of West Coast Shipping who did the westbound Atlantic shipment.

Loaded and secured the E70 in 20 minutes and ran it home doing about 60mph. Could have done a bit more but didn't seem necessary. The Tundra was very stable towing this trailer and this was the easiest way getting it home. Love my X5s around town and for runs up to 100 miles. But, for anything longer or needing space/carrying capacity the Tundras are superb.

Once I got the E70 on the trailer I realized that it was a tight fit especially the rears.....! I guess for any non-modified vehicle it would have been fine. Admit I did not expect that :-) Also the car was a bit longer at the back than the trailer.

Tomorrow I will connect the computer and see what's up with the engine codes....

EDIT: Engine codes on the E70 (cause of the limp home/reduced power mode), there were nine and I thought a bit overwhelming to make sense of. So, deleted them all and restarted the engine. Only one code immediately reappeared, the turbo pressure. Now the sensor could be bad or the turbo vacuum control hose is toast, the latter seems more likely since the dealer in Portugal was quite intent on having me spend 900 Euros to replace three vacuum hoses. Also will need to check the vac pump is working. Tomorrow have to continue with some drywall work in the basement media room (part of my looooong punch list) but on Monday I plan a day for car work and will probably have a look at this problem.
