Chaps,
What sort of spares (if any) would you have in the boot just in case?
Toothed belt and an AA card.
AA card equipped but I wouldn't need the charger belts!
I was also thinking if something went bang and you couldn't get to a VW/GSF.
Along the lines of HT leads, spark plugs maybe?
When i eventually plan a trip in the G to the Ring i would take the following:
Spare wheel - currently have a can of foam!
Spark Plugs and Leads
Dizzy Cap and Rotor Arm
Oil
Coolant
Coilpack
Bulbs
Toothed Belt
If your coil is old that is defo a good one to have. I know a few people now (including myself) where they have given out with very little notice. I always have a spare charger belt in the boot.
For a ring trip I'd be taking a spare charger.
rac card & mobile phone in my pocket is all I need, never had to phone them yet though.
I do have a spare wheel in and a scissor jack under it but the other day when I actually needed to get at the jack I realised I'd fastened them down with a 10mm nut and didn't have a spanner or any sockets with me, fortunately it was two mins away from a mate's house.
Perhaps some emergency beers in case I ever need to wait for RAC?
I carry a clutch cable, screw driver and an RAC card.
i carry a clutch cable too! good call, i did carry a dizzy in the glovebox for a while lol
