This service included a completely reconditioned gearbox, new engine mounts, front shocks, suspension, full oils and filter changes, lubricants and liquids, grease points etc. Serviced in Nairobi Mar 2011. Previous major services with Nissan Pretoria in South Africa sin Dec 2010. Clutch replaced in Sep 2009. Invoices are available. Vehicle kept in dry inland conditions in South Africa; there is no rust on this vehicle. We used 60/40 on/off road tyres, Goodyear and a "made in china" brand, which were absolutely fine for our journey. You can of course spend hundreds on the BF Goodrich All Terrrains if you prefer. As per South African regulations this vehicle was issued with a "Roadworthy" certificate when we bought it in Jan 2009.
History: Bought in South Africa in Jan 2009 as our family car while we were living in South Africa for two years. The one previous owner was "in the trade" and manager of a Total Service station in Sandton, Johannesburg. We decided to drive back to Europe in Jan 2011 with our two children aged 7 and 5. The overland trip to Europe mostly followed main roads and major tracks.

Carnet de passage : We cancelled our Carnet de Passage issued by the South Africa AA for this vehicle on our arrival in Europe. However if necessary we can assist in securing a new Carnet through a relevant Carnet body such as the RAC UK, AA SA, or possibly ADAC Germany. You will need to leave a deposit related to the value of this vehicle or provide an equivalent insurance bond, and pay the up-front costs for issuing the document. We bought a 10 page, 6 month Carnet in South Africa and, where possible, used TIPs (Temporary Import Permits).
Look no further if you want an unparalleled overland experience from Europe to Cape Town and you want to easily transfer ownership of the vehicle at the end of your trip! This is all that you will need; a South Africa registered vehicle currently in Europe and wanting to "go home" and your Passport!
