Can anyone help me out here....

Please add to this and it may help others aswell

as many spares as you can.

depends who is going,and what spares they have.

pointless everyone taking the same spares,have a talk about who has what and then decide what to take each.

 

AJ you ave a valid point

 

Thats why i started this thread

 

Thankyou

 

the title is 'things to take' not...' what are you taking'

 

Ok ok, hopefully people will just post in here anyway

 

gb sticker
headlight adjuster sticker things
europe breakdown cover

musts for germany
warning triangle
spare set of bulbs

I think i can manage the oil, duct tape, brake pads and passenger dont think the rest will fit in

 

I'm taking nothing, so can everyone please ensure they take a few Escort cossy spares too. Oh and can someone grab a 225/35/19 tyre, prefer a good one, as a spare.
I'll need some fuel too, if anyone can lend me some if I need it on the way.

2) Breakdown Cover, Insurance Cover

3) Brake pads, Oil, Coolent, Brake Fluid, Water, Sensors, Plugs, Duct tape, Hose clips, Few nuts and bolts, Instant Gasket

4) Toolkit- Sockets, Screwdriver Kit, Allen Keys, Cutters, Pliers, Gas Soldering Iron

5) Passport, Euro's etc......

Ill keep adding to this list

Please help me out if you can think of more

 

You dont need a gb sticker.

Well i never have.

 

take your passport - and dont leave it in someone elses car who then sneaks off on an early boat!

 

u do unless u got the new style euro plates!!!

 

My mums told me to take a sticker, my paltes have no GB logo and i was told this was the reason why, think ill take one just i case

Have ur plates got the GB logo on ??

ive only got bulbs because by law i have to otherwise i wouldnt take anything at all

 

Cheers all, im sure it will all be good just though id better plan it well

 

We didn't sneak off, we left the same time as you, it's just that we did 140mph the WHOLE way back and got the hour earlier ferry than the slow arsed Scooby lot .

The things I normally take to do with the car:

1. Tools.
2. Oil.
3. Brake pads.
4. Exhaust mounts (ALS melts them round the 'Ring).
5. Spare turbo / downpipe bolts (I won't need these any more ).
6. Tyre pressure gauge.

 

sunglasses
tie wraps
hose joiners (or bits of copper pipe)
electircal wire
an axle stand

 

No matter how well you prepare there will always be somethign you need that you don't have

And i REALLY cant see my Stu putting a sticker on his car

Can't wait.....although I just blew all the money I saved for the trip

 

When my car went up in smoke last year when the electric window motor shorted everyone chipped in with tools

Werent even ford peeps either so everyone is willing to help.
