Amongst other incidents we have swapped the alternator in Denmark (Type 1 engine) and rebuilt cooked rear brakes in South of France -every incident has resulted in more spares/tools being secreted in ever more inventive places

I thought i was on Just Kampers site for a moment there.
Thats a very comprehensive set of spares. No doubt built from experience.

Spare electrical wire & crocodile connectors are also useful to have. Doing Bugjam 89 we broke down on the way home. Bus coughed a few times on the way there, nothing to see when checked at the show.
Failed on the way home & turned out to be the newly fitted immobiliser. We were novices then, but a Splitty pulled over to rescue us, running a wire from our battery direct to coil which got us home, but the guy told us we had to remember to disconnect every time we stopped to avoid frying the coil.
