Land Rover Pmb Contact Details
If you break down in a remote area, stay with the vehicle. It is shelter, it is visible from the air and from the road, and it carries your water. People who walk for help in heat are the ones who are found too late.

Before a remote trip
Preparation is what turns a breakdown into an inconvenience.
- Tell someone your route and expected arrival, and agree what they should do if you do not check in.
- Carry more water than you expect to need, plus a basic first aid kit and warm clothing for the night.
- Check the spare, the jack and the tools before leaving, and know how to use them.
- Reception is unreliable across much of the country. Do not assume a phone will work where you are going.
Off-road basics
Lower tyre pressure for sand and re-inflate before returning to tar, since driving at low pressure on tar destroys tyres and causes blowouts. Use rated recovery points and a rated strap; a snapped tow rope attached to a towbar becomes lethal.
Never cross flowing water, and stay in the vehicle in a game area. Pietermaritzburg is on the 033 code; emergencies 112 from a mobile, ambulance 10177. Verified 26 August 2026.
