An advantage of a Toyota Rav4 is that there are many of them in Ghana. Many cars means more spare parts. This one braces the rear differential to the chassis, if you know what I mean.
The hardest part was figuring out what to call it. If you don't know what it's called, you can't order one. My mechanic sent one of his workmen into the central market -- there's a section just for used and new car parts. Still, this particular part proved particularly difficult to find. Took several days. I was offered a used one for $150. My mechanic finally found a new one for $80.
Having a driver means I hear about all this by cell phone. Samuel stays with the car and reports on progress.
