anyone got any advice on just what spares I should be taking and what tools on my trip to Morocco?

Appreciate that the part I don't take is the part I will need!
 
I believe there is a Landy garage in Morocco, though they charge a fair bit.

As for spares fan belt, air filter, injector harness, Nanocom/Hawkeye if you have one ( an electrical fault could see you stranded), full size spare tyre. Im sure others will suggest more!
 
I do prefer genuine parts when I can afford them, but I would buy a cheap fuel pump just for piece of mind... I also carry a spare MAF, wheel bearing kit, UJ... and a selection of fluids/oils etc... oh and get your battery tested while you're at it.
Prevention is better than cure, so a thorough check over/service before you go. Often the most reliable vehicles are the ones used as a daily driver, as faults are kept on top of.

Will I need these considering the filters and the dan belt were done a few months ago?

Both batteries are brand new. Pump may be one to have and also alternator. What fluids/oils brands would you recommend?

Morocco is very sandy and dusty, could block your air filter pretty sharpish! As for the belt they are all of £10 and hardly take up space, better to have it and not need it.
 
After doing the trip twice. From experience an alternator sand gets everywhere with all spare belts. Spare water pump genuine, get a ARB puncture kit, spare wheel nuts, bulbs the rest as been mentioned,
Good luck

Yes I didn't first time and had just the normal heat shield we got a bad spell of wind and it just knackered the alternator luckily someone was carry one. The next time I took one as a precaution mine was ok but another fellas packed in. For me better to be safe than sorry.
Cheers
