Casablanca - Cape Town in a Discovery Td5
Hi there,
I'm new here, so - a big "hello" to everybody. New, but already with few questions I recently bought a Land Rover Discovery Td5 '00 with 92000 km made. I plan to go from Casablanca (Morocco) to Cape Town (S. Africa) along the west coast of Africa in 2009/10. Questions: - anyone did this route before/anyone knows any web resources on similiar routes made before in Africa? - what should I equipe my Disco with? Until now - it's in its standard settings, with however rear suspension on springs. I bought it for 10000 EUR, planned to spend another 5000 for the equipment (like i.e. additional fuel tank)...maybe there is some list on what to equip a Disco with for a long haul adventure off-road ride - what spare parts to take, I would not expect good fuel in the area and this car is on common rail...fuel pump etc. etc.? - would anyone strongly disadvice to go there with a Land Rover? Should I switch to Land Cruiser? - where to start looking for permissions/special documents to travel along these countries (car on polish plates)? - anyone who did this route befo do you think that 3-4 months would do? - anyone who did this route befo what might be the approx. cost (fuel+repairs+permissions etc.) We plan to start in Gdansk (Poland), drive to south Spain and than do the thing from Morocco. We are 2 - would possibly be looking for some more people (max 2) + possibly for some other car to join. Timings flexible. Any advice, comments, web resources, forums etc. - welcome! Best greetings, -- P. |
