I'd ask the company what they want me to do. The 767 hand flys really nice and it's legal to fly without an autopilot, so I wouldn't turn around just for that. If I had good weather at several places within my fuel reserves, and the company wanted me to press on (which they probably would), I'd press on. Being over landing weight iat the moment isn't a problem, you could land overweight or dump. As far as RSVM, I'd get the company to send me a new burn for whatever altitude I could work out with ATC.

The 767 has three independent autopilots, by the way.
