What spares to carry

[Disco Matt]

I've come to the conclusion that I should probably carry some parts in the car when I go out laning. However, I have no idea what to take! Could anyone advise? I'm thinking serpentine belt and fuel filter at the moment but guessing there are other things I should have? Tools are not a problem as I already carry assorted spanners, sockets, screwdrivers, etc.

As mentioned above. an RAC card. Why cary anything else?

Oh, and a spare wheel!!! :lol:

Wheel bearing (s), alternator belt, crowbar, the list is endless.

Axle set of wheel bearings, grease, seals etc. and a couple of prop UJ's

Should have mentioned I always have more than enough food, water, gas stove, matches, spare gas and a full tank of diesel when I go out. I was just wondering if I should carry anything in particular for venturing into areas where the phone signal isn't great and the breakdown people can't get to you. The only weak spots I could think of on the TDI were the serpentine belt (squeals worryingly if it gets wet) and the fuel filter.

for me:
big toolbox
spare fan and PAS belt
oh and a jerry can with derv in it
spare wheel
hi lift
UJ


when i go on a p+p or away for more then just the day:
spare halfshaft(s)
spare diff
spare propshaft
+all the above.

Good idea for a thread Matt. Should really start carrying some spares and tools with me in mine when I get her back (hopefully tomorrow! woohoo!). Tempted to keep an axle set of bearings in the back, but won't be getting 'em from my local factors again! Could have done all 4 wheels for what I paid for 1 kit today, but had to put up with it as I need 'em ready for tomorrow.

Belts seem sensible, and cheap enough to have too, same with filters.

No one has said a steering linkage rod thingy. Mine bent on a off roading adventrue and had to limp home 80 miles with the wheels at horrible angles.

Just a thought.

the main thing that caught me out was a cv joint.(but lucky enough youve got center diff :D) i also had a brake pipe split on me half way through a day out thats not fun .

 Engine oil, gear oil. WD 40  + most of the above mentioned.

TBH if I bust something that's not a Dizzy cap/rotor arm then I want to get it towed home so I can give it a proper going over, so your mates, a mobile and a breakdown card (CC mayday for me).

I guess there are some wheel bearings in there, oh and a spare coil, learned that the hard way, couple of leads and plugs, WD40 of course, some bulbs, spare CB mic and arial.  Mostly recovery gear though.
