    I've been stranded twice in a 300tdi, once due to an injector pipe fracturing, then another due to a water pump. A water pump is something you could carry as a spare, but I doubt you would get a #3 injector pipe and carry that as a spare.

    I think that with a proper risk analysis you will find that the common rail is more reliable than a mechanical system, fewer moving parts. Yes I agree that cr's are are dependent on good fuel, but you would be crazy not to prepare with proper secondary filters etc.

    The injector pipe fracturing is very common on the FTE,a gas burner and solder fix's it quick smart.

    Perhaps in remote areas in NZ. A mountain bike wouldn't be a practical alternative mode of transport for me.

    I recall Cecil Madigan used a team of camels with a large supply of water, when he crossed the Simpson Desert, and by camp 12, the camels were in very dire straits. They were very lucky to survive, and this after delaying the crossing until a very good rainfall year.

    I was being facetious with the bike comment. After about 20km most people would wish they stick with the vehicle.
