Essential parts kit

Hmm, thats what all the cupboards are for!

I think I have - gallon of water, few litres of oil, bottle of brake fluid, socket set, tool kit, spare dizzy, coil, clutch slave cylinder, set of brake cylinders (overkill perhaps... sure just the seal kits would do), spare master cylinder and kits, alsorted nuts, bolts, exhaust brakets, rad cap, thermostat, fuel pump, fuses, bulbs, wire, set of rad hoses, some jubilee clips, latex gloves (!), alternator, a carb and a tube of instant gasket.

Jump leads and a mains battery charger.

and in case non of that works lots of booze and tea bags.
 
Nothing, it makes it more fun when you break down. We went on a two week trek round Europe in our last camper van and didn't even have a wheel nut wrench. Took us ours to get the wheel off when we shredded it but it was part of what made the journey such an adventure.

absolutely right santa if you carry a tool kit it will be just more fustrating when its something that you havent got! also maybe thats what causing you lot to have poor economy, your carrying four ton of breakdown lorry in your food cupboards[}:)];) take it out your wasting beer space:D

I completely agree The amount of times I have been recovered not just in the commer :I you get to meet some great people you wouldn't have met.

Something I always carry in my older vehicles is a length of petrol pipe, long enough to go into the filler cap, and reach to the fuel pump. All old vehicles of whatever make can be subject to fuel blockages, and this method is something I learned many years ago as a fleet mechanic. pipe in the tank neck, a bit of rag jammed in to keep it there, trail the pipe along the car, or underneath it if you can, and connect direct to the pump. Hey presto, on the road again.
A few bits of old fuel pipe and a couple of jubilee clips will generally connect it to almost any pump.

Ive found breakdowns are usually caused by something under the dizzy cap or the fuel pump. So I carry a fuel pump and a spare dizzy.[:eek:)]
