Great list Tim

I reckon you have nearly all potential breakdowns covered. Only other suggestion after looking at your first lot of pics would be a spare pair of thongs, a pair like Blacky wears

Stephen

Thanks Tim

I’ve started already

Cheers

I was actually going to pick your brain about this offline Tim so you have saved me the job. Great post

Gee that is extensive. I Guess you can get by without wipers but I carried a spare motor to Toowoomba and roger ended up needing it.

just cut an apple in half and wipe the windscreen with it

Tim if you had an FB you wouldn't need most of that stuff - I carry a toolbag , some cable ties and tape , a spare wheel , a jack and a wheel brace

P.S. - I know I am going to get slaughtered for the post above but its all part of the fun

HMMM ........

let me see ......around 4540 km (2840 miles) for us this year.

about 4 litres of oil
about 200 litres of water
a harmonic balancer and seal
bottom radiator hose
thermostat
radiator cap

sometimes breakdowns are worth it though, hey Tim you never know what you will find

seems a few of you forgot your masks in your kits

Yep that is one detailed travel box !

Just thinking there was a bloke from SA somewhere that went to the Toowoomba Nats that needed a spare gearbox, the question is did he have oil in it ??



Greg

Oil weren’t the problem… . It were torque in excess..

Which goes to show the most invaluable item in the kit is a connection to the good people on this forum…………….

I have a new-found respect for modern batteries. When I first saw those little jump-start packs, I thought "pffft! no chance that something the size of a cigarette packet will turn over an engine". I was wrong... they have an incredible amount of grunt for something you can charge with an USB cable.
