Thought we should have a reasonable list/idea of any spare parts we need to take with us.

Toolbox wise. We can use my spare top box (snap on type). just lacking tools as they are at work.

I can supply. Fluke multimeter, spanners and some very long screwdrivers ideal for bottom hoses etc.

spades,wire etc
rad hoses
exhaust clamps

I have AA cover and so do many others but they take you to a garage to try and repair it so would be a good idea to take ball joints and wheel bearings ??

I will bring a spare dizzy cap, rotor arm, coil, plugs, leads and a thermostat housing gasket, (just random bits I have replaced on mine so far)

I can always take the alternator off the city and any other bits we might need.

I will probably get a spare fan belt as I don't have luck with them Razz

Will also have my tool box with jubilee clips, cable ties, wiring crimp connectors, gaffa and a socket set. Very Happy
