remote travel spares list

The Faultmate FCR is around $350 - it will read (and reset) all module faults for a D3. For diagnostics in the bush, it's probably all you need. The larger MSV-2 has a lot more features, but that's really for fiddling with your car settings - not something you need to be doing in the Outback.

The wheel speed sensors I carry are only around $70 each and very compact. They can fault if you are consistently plugging through mud and corrugations and will throw up warnings such as HDC, Special Programs etc. Ditto with the height sensors. Air tube and splice kit go without saying. The air struts are overkill, but I have them anyway and am usually catering for 3 or 4 other vehicles, so don't always know their history.

Cheers,

Gordon

Seems like they may know alot about the faultmate. I'll be getting one this week if the research pans out to suit my needs

. The website also has listed prices and good descriptions of each products capabilities.
happy travels

P.S. my travels should take me through your backyard later this year

LOL ya cheeky bugger red

, I know this nowww!! as i said in the post i was just starting to look into fault readers {mostly thanks too Gordon's recommendation} and since then have had a few really good conversations with Paul. He seems like a great guy and i will be purchasing a faultmate from him. I did look into getting one direct from BBS however by the time it would have landed on my door step it would have been almost the same price as buying from Paul and i'd much rather deal with and support any local{and i use the term loosely given we're on opposite sides of the country

} company.
Thanks all the same redback..

Hi

I had a conversation with an advanced 4x4 instructor years ago regarding remote trips and gear you should take. He comented that all things taken should have at least two uses. with that I said yes I allways take my gas opperated coffee machine, looking at me sideways, I went on, It makes coffee and it makes friends

( mind you I had a 130 then )
