After three and a half days on unsurfaced roads, this morning we made the decision to reduce weight, by throwing out about half our luggage and sending home (if we can) our hood and rear side screens. I already threw away my tent in the Gobi (not deliberately - I just got out of it, and it blew away).
Since we decided this it has snowed, hailed and rained on us - someone up there trying to make sure we've thought hard about our decision.
Other than that the cars are going well. We have found that doing 25 mph, with a 25mph tailwind leads to the engines overheating and so frequent stops (parked facing the wind) become necessary.

Nice and sunny in London, not much of a wind either! Good luck to you all, sounds unpredictable. See you in London!
Try driving backwards.
