Thanks GOK. We got a new one, when we left in Sep22. Started having problems 1 month later. Muktiple visits to garages few of them Toyota in Dakar & Conakry. Had coil changed, didn’t help, no new alternators available anywhere in West Africa, tried atleast 20, second European spec ones, no good. Eventually sone mechanic did some setting change and it has been fine ever since and we have now reached as fas as Angola. We lost a week doing all this and missed our visa expiry date for SA, which is why I am back here. It was such a hassle that I will take one as a spare to avoid such situation again!
