Land Rover garage in Morocco
 
Hi,

Does anyone know of some qualified Land Rover workshops in Morocco. I will be travelling for a couple of months and would like to have an address or two in my notebook - just in case

Ask Darrin at roamingyak.org, his dvd is advertised at the top of this page I think and I seem to remember he called on the services of someone in Marrakech...

Yes, quite a few guys have used Ben and reported back good things. He is in Marrakech, near the route to Safi. Details at:

In Zagora, they'll find you!

As you come out of the desert, the guys ride around on scooters and ask if you need service.

I had brakes fixed there, they did a decent job.

HTH,
Nick.

...but, as with most mechanics in Africa, it's worth watching what they're doing.

Rgds,
Nick.

They provide a valuable steering testing service as well. See how many you can run off the road whilst 'testing' your steering ;-)

Thanks a lot for the addresses and (most) of the advice :o)

LR mechs in Morocco
 
Morocco is full of LRs - loads of parts there. Their oil filters are bigger than Euro spec ones - better for cooling oil down. Parts are cheaper there too - worth bring a few home for your next service!

Erraji Nourdine in Erfoud is good - SW of marketplace on the Errachidia road.
There is a good one in Zagora too - ask at Camping Sindibad.
There's said to be a good one in Rabat too but Im not sure where - if you are in Sidi Kaouki on the coast there is an Italian guy with a 90 there who can point you at a few.
