Travelling from UAE to Salalah with financed car.

Hello, I'm sure y'all have answered this many times but I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experiences.

I'm planning to travel next week with a family of 3 from Dubai to Salalah with a car under mortgage. I don't want to deposit the principal amount and get a NOC. I've read and heard many yes and no for travelling with a financed car. Please let me know if I can travel and what route I should take.

Appreciate any and all positive responses.

Compressor hack needed.

I don't want to mount an onboard compressor. I want my compressor to be portable. I saw a couple of ideas online to use a spare car battery to power the compressor. Can someone please tell me what type of battery to use to power the compressor and how long will it last till I need to change it? Is it safe to keep a spare battery lying in the car when outside temperatures are at 50⁰C.

Radiator Damage

Apparently my vehicle's radiator got damaged due to sand while off-roading. The service center claims that sand got stuck in the fan causing it's blades to come in contact with the radiator which caused the damage. Has this happened to anyone else?

This is an off-road vehicle with extra fans for cooling. Was surprised that sand could cause a major cooling failure.
