I have a spare tyre for the rear of 3200, but how I will carry it is another matter..??

I have added a few more bits plus we have a 3200 and a GranSport spare wheel and jack.

I am not carrying it all so would appreciate it if others can take a few bits. Bennys carrying the alternator. SteveM is taking the 3200 wheel and I am carrying the Collapsable GS wheel.

Other bits I have added are a couple of injectors and both coil pack looms.

I'm putting I think it's called screen clear on mine (???), I used it on the AC when we took that to Monaco and even though it chucked it down, haerdly used the wipers at all, rain just runs off..!!

The spare wheel I have in my boot, which is an inflated slim line wheel, who is that for..??

I'm fitting Yellowstuff front pads tomorrow so I will bring along the half worn set of DS2500s they are replacing.

OK Matt thanks..!!
RainX sounds probably right, it's in the garage and will go on after the next wash this week sometime..!! I am taking a pile of spare fuses too just in case any need them..!! Just checked both air pumps I have and picked the best one, got my can of gunge just in case, plus other bits and bobs, oh and yellow slip on over jacket..!! Just been trying to replace my Swiss Vignette on the screen, crikey they are a sod to get off once on..?? Off back to Auroshield in the morning again, found a rubber boot split on track rod end, bu99er..!! The tomorrow have 2 new front boots and full wheel alignment done, found a place that carries the 2 x 75kg weights we need to do the job properly..!!

Hi Rob - I'm collecting 4200/GS spare this week and will bring this down to Dover and swap for the 3200 spare with you.

Thanks mate, I have an indoor car cover bag that has all the spares in, its not very big, so If you can carry that it will help loads. Ill give it to you at Dover.

The only heavy item in there is the Altenator and a set of part worn brake pads.

The alternator is for Benny so you can always lob that in his boot.

Forget the trailer, at this rate we will be able to build a spare car along the route.
Now seriously, I don't think you will be able to replace most of those parts on the road.
Oil and lambda sensors are a pain to reach or replace.

So who is bringing the spare engine.... because he can...

Picked up the 4200/GS spare complete with spacer and bolts this evening (thanks Peter). Hopefully swap this over for the 3200 spare when we get to Dover.

Can anyone pack a bottle jack - I only have a trolly jack which I dont fancy packing!
