I took a 30km road trip to pick up an appliance. In my world, a shourt trip can turn off road.
Is the dealership in Accra up and running now ? If so having workshops enroute would be perfect for a UK to South Africa trip. There was talk of dealerships in Dakar and in Morocco also.
 

Particularly cruel to force you to make those purchases.

Alcon are just up the road from me, I know a couple of guys who developed those brakes.
 
Got this fixed.
LRA fuel tank. New experience at the end of the year. About 12,000 miles on the LRA tank, very happy with it. But, above the muffler that was added, the rubber muffler hangar failed, it had become brittle, probably due to the heat. Simple fix, it is a BMW part, and Jeffrey Corwin at JC's British & 4x4 took care of it over lunch, and added a silicone heat sleeve over the hanger to protect it in the future.

You still use coins?
Please don't say you also write cheques?
They are Euro coins, also some Euro notes in the box lid clip.

I spend several months per year in France, 2 coffees in a cafe are about €2 so yes coins are needed.

This was the first year I haven't had to pay any household bills in France by cheque. Strangely about a third of people shopping in supermarkets use cheques to pay.

Coffee in France is overrated.
Slovenia, Croatia, even Isle of Lewis I've had bettter!
Cheques are definitely Mangum PI moustache old school!

There is also a limit on how much you spend using a bank card (which you get charged €7 per month for the privilege of having), when I last looked mine was €2,000 per month. So a cheque might be needed for exceptional purchases. French banking is weird.
 
Finally got carpet applied and tie-downs secured to my little fridge-tray-with-no-fridge-in-the-winter slide….
