Paarl – Anura: Repair vehicle roof at Stephen’s home due to weight of roof-rack causing cracks on front corners. Cracks had developed some time ago but got worse due to poor gravel roads. We did not have time before we started the journey to make the repairs.
Windhoek: Replace all tyres with BF Goodrich. We knew that we would need to replace the tyres at some point along the journey.
Polokwane: During a routine service, Philip asked the garage to check why the vehicle was experiencing a slight loss of water. They thought it may be due to a leak in the head gasket. Returned home to investigate further.
