Le mans spares package

[tommy18]

Hi, I'm of to le mans classic this year and really want to take my cerbera.
I'm going to get together some tools and some spares to take with me just in case. Really only things that could be changed in a few hours.
What would you take?
Thanks

Alka-Seltzer & a credit card!

Seriously, I'd probably just take a small set of spanners (inc adjustable), a couple of screw drivers and a few pairs of latex gloves, wrapped up in a tool roll. As for spares, take 1L oil and carry a 2L bottle of water (for drinking but to use as top-up if needed). Wrap the oil in a large rag and wedge it in that bottom corner of the boot, next to the fuel tank.

However, before you go, just check things over, top up, etc...

Here you go same was asked last week and i think this will help you along.

Hope you enjoy, I am very jealous as I have not been able to make one in 5 years of TVR ownership due to work. Maybe next year

Hope you don't have to many sore heads

You sound slightly hesitant? Your Cerbera will love it. There are loads of us going, in the unlikely event you need tools, between us we can all muck in. Unless you know of a problem that needs sorting at the moment, there is no reason to be concerned . Your Cerbera will be all the better for the run tbh!

Have you signed up for the track time on the Friday evening?

Look forward to meeting you - gaggle of us are in Karting Nord

Breakdown cover

hammer
cable ties
duct tape
adjustable spanner
Allen keys to get access to things.

I'd limit myself to that tbh.

Any more and you just end up taking your whole tool kit!

Thanks for the advice, oops I missed the previous threads on this.
I'm quite confident in my car but I've never made a long journey in it. The only issue I've had with my car is with the clutch slave cylinder. The car had a new clutch and slave seals 200 miles prior to me buying it, but almost straight away the clutch pedal used to drop down with the slightest touches and sometimes I'd lose the clutch all together until I pumped the pedal a few times. But I hasnt done this for months and doest use any fluid. Should I be worried??
I would like to have the cooling chip fitted, are these expensive?

Yeah that would be great to meet up, we are staying at tete rouge with the triumph sport six club. There's quite a group of us in all sorts of cars. Unfortunately no track laps this year I'll keep an eye out for you on the laps

Here's my lap from 2010. It was well worth the queuing

Going out on the Tunnel at 0750 on the Thursday. Anywhere near your timings?

[tommy18]

Very close actually, we're on the 06.50 ferry on Thursday so I'd imagine we'll set off in France around the same time.
I dare say we'll cross each others paths with the service/pee/toll/fuel stops.

It's a race event, not a sex murder.

Looking forward to the Classic as well.

Not taking any tools as you can't get the bonnet off to do anything. Just consumables.

A decent torch would be useful too?

That comes under camping spares doesn't it?
