I'd like to make up a tool roll to carry in my '72 1.7 for when I'm out of town or on tour. I want to make it compact but comprehensive enough to cover basic servicing and situations that experience shows us can occur when on the road, and can be fixed by someone handy with tools. I'm sure people who have owned these machines for a long time will have refined the contents of their kit. Perhaps a list of likely useful small spares for a standard spec car also.
I'm well experienced in making up such kits for outback motorcycle touring where outside help is unavailable but am thinking here of saving time by not re-inventing the wheel! If someone can draw my attention to such a list then that would be appreciated. If not then maybe we can make one up here on this thread. |

Car fails to proceed
Step 1. Fix it myself - hence the need for a reasonable tool kit. If that fails, move to step 2. Step 2. Take out the phone and dial for help... If that fails, quite possible considering the shit mobile coverage here in West Oz, move to step 3. Step 3. Hail a passing car down and if it stops, hope the driver is friendly. I'd be pretty annoyed with myself if a simple problem couldn't be fixed due to lack of a few tools or parts. It's good to be self reliant in this country. There are lots of stories around of people needing to be rescued - the common one being German tourists bogged on a dirt road for a week, their survival kit consisting of a couple of cartons of beer! Or the Japanese tourists pushing their car to the next town. When asked "what town", they said Albany - well that's 170 km away! No idea of scale. So, I'm trying to learn from our foreign visitors. Tempting as it is to sit down with a carton of beer, I might get out the tools before cracking a can or pushing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Cheers from Australia |
