Re-issue of AME licence South Africa

[117esso]

Hi all I'm new here so forgive if i don't get this totally correct. I am currently employed by the South African Air Force. I had my AME licence for 2 yrs ( Exp. 04/2011) and let it lapse because I could not complete the human factors crs in time. I have continued to work on SAAF Oryx this entire time. I now wish to apply for a re-issue. How do i go about this....from what i can see on the SACAA site (CA 66-02.1,CA 66-02.3 and CA 6602.9) it looks to me that I have to repeat CARS.
Is that all?
Is there anywhere i can repeat my CARS in Durban or a company that can provide some advice. I have tried phoning CAA but no joy and would prefer to talk to someone direct.
Many thanks

Try ' Technicians & Engineers' section on this site. More likely to get a useful response.

He already has, and has had no replies, I cannot help much either as my licences are both issued by the Uk CAA ( EASA and Section L )

The only glimmer of hope I can give is register here and also ask.
