Morning All,
Apart from taking along enough standard service items for a long
overlanding trip to North Africa, what other spares would you
recommend?
Since I would be prepared to do any work myself, I would probably be
inclined to take more rather than less, however what about people that
will be able to do their own basic servicing, but not much more - is it
worth them taking enough kit for others to do the work or should they
rely on the bush mechanics to source the parts for them?
Service Items - enough to service vehicle say every 6,000 miles:
Air filter
Oil Filter
Fuel Filter
Engine Oil
Gearbox Oil
Diff Oil
Brake fluid
Windscreen Washer fluid
I would be inclined to take a couple of extra fuel filters just in case
you come across mucky fuel.
Also:
Full set of brake pads
Spare bulbs (at least one of everything, doubling up on main driving
lights)
Spare belts for alternator and aircon.
Timing belt?
What about:
Spare wheel bearings and seal kit
Birfield grease
Wheel bearing grease
I would be interested to know your views.
