Land Rover mechanic/ parts in Western Sahara / Mauritania
Hey guys,
Looking for some Land Rover Series parts. (That also fit our Santana PS10).
We are now in Akhfennir and going to Mauritania.
Not really in a hurry (it's about some seals and grease mostly, and some spares).
Somebody got some info? Thanks in advance.

Morocco is excellent for getting help, south thereof it can be tricky. I drive Toyota but have not had much luck sourcing parts and help south of Agadir/Tiznit.
Wasted too much time looking for parts and service in Layoune and Dahkla. Better chances in Nouakchott. If going there, give Abou a call +222 33613343 he will help you out. French/arab only.

There are plenty of series and Santana Land Rovers in WS. I would be suprised if you can't get simple parts in Laaoune - I parked up in my 110 (which is painted pale green like the local series 3s) by a bank in the new town and was approached in the nicest possible way (ie not like the high pressure, forceful "you come to my work shop NOW..." Moroccan style) by two separate guys asking if I needed any assistance.
As it was, all I needed was directions to the road south!
If you're heading north, and not desperate, maybe post in the Morocco section for someone to bring some stuff down to you - season is starting - there must be scores of people heading south from europe.

I agree with Moss, loads of ancient S3s in WS, and Layounne would be the place for bits. I imagine they will all be pattern from Asia, not Solihull.
Last time I was in Mori, many S3s grounded for want of simple spares.
