    Box o bits.

    Ok so we now all know big red is getting a service and a lot of it is pre-emptive strikes or what I call insurance replacements.

    Given the number of trips that leave the brissy area I have an idea... bare with me..

    A lot of you know that I pack a lot when I travel.. I now have a bunch of spare parts that will go into a box and sit in one of my hideyholes around the place till I go on a big trip and think "hrmmm might need them" (ok thats likely to be next week when I goto aldi )

    MY question

    Is anyone interested in having access to the box o bits that I pull off after my service as an emergancy parts pack?

    It will likely contain

    all the defender intercooler hoses
    a rocker gasket
    a cleaned out and resealed injector harness
    all the cooling system hoses (includes the heater)
    serpentine belt
    idler pully
    tensioner
    set of hub bearings
    misc nuts bolts and studs.

    Sounds like a great idea Dave... and then those that borrow your kit for a trip away can obviously replace what they use.

    Shouldn't that be in the thread about the trip to River Island?

    But back on subject, I keep my old bits for emergency spares so it sounds like a good idea.

    I chuck nothing out regardless of how knackered it is coz u never know when u may need it, I would have thought a spares kit in any Landy was a good idea, my spares package would need its own trailer!
