What spares do you carry?

[Andy_sheff]

Well, I've learnt the hard way that it's wise to carry a spare throttle cable and a clutch cable in the bus! Fuses too, what do you carry when your going on s trip ?

I've got spare dizzy cap, rotor and points, fan belt, a length of fuel hose , assortment of bulbs and fuses, some lengths of wire and assortment of connectors.. Think that's about it. I also have a full set of spanners, feeler gauges, screwdrivers, multimeter, wirecrimps/cutters, leatherman multi tool and various 1/4 and 3/8 drive sockets with ratchets.

Reckon I could fix most things at the side of the road, assuming they don't need new parts, never thought of carrying a clutch or throttle cable..

A mobile phone and the number for Green Flag :lol:

But seriously, pretty much what rlepecha carries (a little bit of enverything), plus a jump starter/battery booster, cables are on my list to get and food/drink for the kids just in case we're stranded miles from anywhere.

All of the above and a little more.
I have a three bow roof rack on the rear of my dormy and my wife knows that
only spares are allowed up there and if there's room the barbeque and booze. :lol: :lol:
This includes at the moment the spare. Soon to be placed internally leaving more room for........

a spare van! :lol:
Sometimes it feels like it.
The usual fuses, bulbs, duck tape, cable ties, dizzy (complete), coil, plugs, alternator pulley wheel just about covers it. Oh, and a decent tool kit.
Of course, it'll be the bit you don't have that breaks down isn't so always take your AA card too, just in case.

Generally - cables, fan belt, a plug, points/condenser, rocker gaskets, zip ties, a few nuts/bolts, a length of wire, insulation tape, some crimp on connectors and oil.

I broke a front damper last year, so at the moment I have a spare pair under the rear seat ... just in case :roll:

WD40.

Spare fan pulley recommended? I have heard somewhere on here that they can destroy themselves...?

There was a list posted last year from a workshop that covered spares and tool kit, see here:

[Andy_sheff]

Think it's time I upped my spares stash! :lol:

well, it pays to be prepared!
On our way home yesterday in the Bay from our week away in the Scottish highlands we hear a loud "hissing" noise from the back which disappeared when I put my foot on the clutch so I pulled over into a very convenient lay-by (perfect timing!) and checked the engine to find a half-disintegrated pulley wheel doing it's best to eat the alternator facing :evil:

Fortunately, after half an hour or so trying to get the old one off, I replaced it with the spare and away we went!

That's twice in ten years one of these has gone on me so if you can then do take a spare alternator/generator pulley wheel "just in case"
