Foreign road trip advice

[strat]

I am thinking of treating the French and Spaniards to some authentic V8 noise and was wondering what people tend to take with them in terms of spares etc should the unthinkable occur.
Any advice?
Thanks!

There are quite a few posts on this...

But, since I tool mine Chim to Munich earlier this month (via Paris) I took:

fan belt
fuses
spare lamps (don't really know why)
tyre-weld (no spare)
RAC membership

Used none of the above - 1700 trouble free miles.

what I really missed was not taking a road map of Paris

Go for it

Sorry strat, moved the post to give you more coverage and didn't realise that you didn't mention Chimaera. (and why should you when posted in the chim forum).

So guy's and girls, as I can't move the post back.

Legal requirement in many EU countries (including France)

We went top France with the Suffolk gang this year...great fun...The French people really appreciated the Marque.

Luckily although spares were taken...none were required, but I think that fuses and a GB sticker are legal requirements.

Warning triangle & First aid kit seems to be required in some countries.

Check out ADAC web-site I believe you can join (standard European wide AA cover) at minimal cost compared to AA.

www.adac.de - German AA. Look for 'become a member' it then gives english version.

Bit of a thread hi-jack, but what are people doing about headlights (particularly the Chimaera). Is it a case of buying continental bulbs or can you get some of that stick on reflector stuff.
