.... when traveling out a fair distance?
Not doing megga miles but going on holiday and will be carrying 1 Daughter,1 Missus,1 Chocolate Labrador and a ton of holiday stuff about 120 miles. Plus a week pottering about then 120 ish back.
Dont want this to be a holiday to remember all for the wrong reasons (The missus will NEVER let me forget!).

Got me Tyre foam, 2 inch Black tape and a hammer.
Am i missing stuff off my list or should that cover all eventualities :mrgreen: ?

Cheers

Don't forget the "dirty" torch it's bound to be dark when something goes wrong :roll: and you'll get in trouble if the "toilet" torch gets covered in oily mess :lol: Have a great holiday and fingers crossed you wont need any of the above.

Don't forget the spare fanbelt...

 

[ozziedog]

And if you are fitting a new fan belt, check the tension on it for a bit and chuck the old belt in just in case, it`ll slip down behind the battery easily if you roll it up. And adding to the list, gaffa tape, spare gaffa tape and emergency reserve gaffa tape, elastic bands, 1ltr of oil, and some WD 40. ! :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, I think you`re good to go ! :mrgreen: 8) :mrgreen:
