Gday Al I rung the RACV number which I think automatically went to RACQ "I think" lol I try to block it out . I was dealing with RACQ on this occation. I reckon I done the radiator when the front kind of dove into the water, I did not go in/through quick, was quite slow really. I know how to do water crossings safely although it would appear not on this occation . It did'nt take much to do the damage unfortunately. Lesson learnt? well I hope so

Here is a list I prepared earlier. We are about to head out for our annual trip up North and use this list



Vehicle spares and tools




Hope it is of some help.

This is great. And I'd have space for it all too if I didn't have to bring the kids along...

For what it is worth, and don't ask why! I used pop rivets, so need a drill and bit, and an air bag (rear suspension SLS). I would suggest you phone someone like Hyper Tuned in Cairns and ask how they may be able to get parts sent to where you may be in the Cape if required.

Mr automotive Brisbane do a "spares kit" for big trips. You put down a deposit take the kit and only pay for what you use. They have also told me I can call and they will overnight parts to just about anywhere.
