Mine lasted 18 years many river crossings and dusty roads it did not fail but when I had engine out thought I would send it to auto sparkie, phone call next day basically not worth fixing full of green death, replaced with same make and model, if it lasted that long why risk a cheaper brand. I have been all over the place and do not carry a heap of spares but do carry tools, glue wire plasti steel cable ties all of which has gotten me and others out of trouble.
Fan belts I will carry and fluids.

I had an aftermarket one not last that long (bearing collapsed) so I got my brother to rebuild the original (he checked the bearings they were fine) and I had got a kit from the UK to repair the electrical side of it and it's been fine ever since
