Just arrived in Port Said yesterday with a defender with no reverse or fifth gear! Tried everything outside the box.
We're going to try the recommendation above unless somebody can point us in another good direction? Really hoping to make Aswan this weekend if possible as we were waiting over a week in iskunderun and have friends to meet further south!
Thanks

Heh
Sorry just noticed this. I can probably direct you to someone who can help if you're still in need. Several friends have the know how and contacts.

Thanks James. We've left Cairo. Gonna chance Khartoum or addis with it.
For anyone else in the same boat:
Tried the independent given above with coords (spot on thanks). He has his number (in arabic) written on the wall. I couldnt get through at the time. There is 3 old defenders knocking around outside his place.
Main dealer mti by airport. The service centre is not that on the website it is the Ducati dealer up the road.
Ethio lakes in Addis has been recommended by a fellow hubb poster
Thanks for the help everyone. It's surprising how far you can get without reverse!

Sorry you could not meet with Hasam, he is usually at the shop in the afternoon with a hem... variable schedule... ; )
In Addis I would recommend Mitchell Cotts, N9 00 926 E 38 44 677 ( I have already posted this in an earlier thread)
Cheers

LR workshop Aswan
Hi all!
Been driving in a 1968 series 2a from Cape Town and home to Norway.
Just crossed in to Egypt from Sudan via Abu Simbel.
I managed to limp into Aswan, something wrong with my gearbox - it whines in 2nd and 3rd gear , no power in 5th and no torque in 1st before RPM works up.
4th is fine
Think she need some work ,maybe a overhaul job.
Any suggestion on good workshop in the Aswan area - if not somewhere North ( Luxor / Cairo)
Any question about Cape Town-Egypt (September - November 2018) feel free to ask, went by Burundi, Rwanda and crossing Sudan Egypt by land.
Thanks
Frank

Answering myself, Found a good all round Workshop, who understands the Land Rovers also. No spare parts but a lot of “know how”, obviously oil and filters is not a problem.
Kamal (*0100 5322669) (kamalaswanegy@yahoo.com) can you show you the way among other things.
Thanks
Frank

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.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
