Spending the last few days in Morocco. Did another one of Chris Scott's routes. MS3. Was alot of fun that one, but there were lots of corrugations.
Ordered some airhelper springs to get the back of the car up, but its been a bit of a nightmare getting them. UK seller dragging his feet actually getting them sent out, not Moroccan customs are holding them because they "dont know what these things are" so we have had to explain by phone, and in writing what they are.
If I had known what a headache it would be I would have just chucked alot of stuff away. Peter & his wife @ Bikershome in Ouarzazate has been a big help dealing with customs and DHL.
We will give them until tomorrow then if they still havent released them we will just have to leave them!
This morning something weird happened with the car. Woke up and tried opening. but car was dead. immobiliser didnt work. opened with key, and tried turning the car and nothing. thought probably a dead battery. opened bonnet and then suddenly the glow plug relay kicked in.
could not for the life of me figure out what caused it. All working fine now, but not keen on the car being disabled and only having a few days left on the visa. BTW battery is fine, had just under 13V....
