Realise this is an old thread, but thought it might be useful to recommend a landy mechanic if needed for anyone who might be doing some backround searches for an upcoming trip in Namibia. The place i came across is in Swakopmund in the industrial area, called Harry's Garage. He's well known so just ask for Harry if you can't find the place...like me. He does a lot of work on landy's and had mine back on the road at a very reasonable price.

Two good places for parts & work in Namibia
Hi folks
In terms of Land Rover parts, you can get some great priced parts and advice from LR Parts Swakopmund & Windhoek
In terms of work - we went to Stienfeld Garage South of Kertmansdorp - happy to share location details if needed.
Both establishments are VERY good - especially after the beating your vehicle gets on the trip through Central Africa - we gave our Landy some TLC in Namibia. If you are venturing into the remoter deserts of Namibia and Southern Angola coming up from South Africa, we would recommend a check over with these guys. There are plenty of garages and workshops in both cities and parts are easily found.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
