Depends how remote you plan to go- and who you plan to go with!

one thing not mentioned so far.....spare tophose- the TD5 ones are S**te and the plastic threaded insert has a habit of coming out.

For a big trip to Romania whee we knew that spares provision was poor with 2 superficially similar TD5 defenders we had between us

F&R shock
Wheel bearings
Prop UJs
Drive flange (pair)
CV
Pair of half shafts
Various Bulbs/fuses/relays/wire
Top hose and a selection of oddments of other sized hose
Crank sensor
Inner tubes
Puncture repair kit
Various hose clips/nuts/bolts
Couple of bits of aluminum sheet
Injector seals.
Selection of bushes.

In the three and a bit weeks and many, many thousands of miles between the 2 cars we had an air con compressor failure, a wheel bearing required tweaking, a snapped rear shock, a minor electrical issue with headlights, a weepy brake caliper- then sadly a Head Gasket failure put an end to our trip.

This was on 2 well maintained, regularly serviced vehicles.

Chris
