Used Carlos again, €170, 4x4 1 per and a D16! Took an online one as usual, but the one given worked fine.

Hello Banco.

It's a guy who owns / runs a tickets office with cheap ferry fares. See below for contact details.

It's located in Polígono Palmones, before arriving Algeciras, about 5 kms north of Algeciras:
Right location (google maps)
calle fragata, 3, Polígono Industrial Palmones, Los Barrios, Algeciras - Google Maps

Contact info and coordinates "Viajes Normandie" website

Off topic, but where the Hell did you go to sustain that much damage?

Car took a beating on Jbel Sahrhro, a very washed out mountain road. That's where the shocks went. Mind you , they'd been on the car for 7 years, and have survived 6 Africa trips.
The radiator developed a small leak, progressively getting bigger till we decided to run the engine with the radiator cap slightly loose and drop in a pill. That way we managed to keep all the water in. Since we didn't have a chance to fill the rad with proper cooling fluid, we used water. The waterpumpbearing decided it didn't like that, and on the way back shortly before Poitiers in France it gave up the ghost.
The tyre went on the same road as the shocks.
Our guide Peter told us he'd never seen that road so bad, not even when he drove it 2 weeks earlier.

I will be on the way back from Morocco end of June this year. I do not know which port to choose. Depart from Ceuta or Tangier-MED to Algeciras? I will travel with motorcycle and last sleeping in Morocco will be in Findq. I could be in any ferry port round 8 AM. Thank's for suggestions.

I have used both Ceuta and Tangier Med and Tangier Med is far easier and user freindly.
