Hi All,

Going to be taking my beloved T350 to Les Man, and was wondering if anybody had an list of essential things to take for the car incase there are any little mishaps, from peoples past experiences?????

Cheers

When I go I'm planning to take a spare throttle cable & 100amp Fuses. Take my jump leads & make sure my tyre weld is replaced.
Also take your spare keys.

Spare bulb kit, high vis vest, warning triangle, all these are a requirements and you could be fined for not carrying them. Always carry your driving license too.

I always take the following:

Handbook (now replaced with Grahams manual, driving License+copy, Registration form, Ins Certificate, bulbs, foot pump, warning triangle, Hi viz vest, jump leads, water, gaffa tape, double sided tape, throttle cable, fuses, and if you have enough room a small tool kit?

Small kit of the usual bits, breakdown cover, spare key, bulbs, fuses, vehicle registration document (v important - French Police want to see this if stopped, can be troublesome if you don't have it). GB sticker/numberplate, flourescent jacket(s).

Note: We see these threads every year, some treat driving in France like its 10,000 miles away. Le Mans is around 500 miles drive from Essex. If you were to drive to Glasgow would you be do so much planning? Glasgow is further.

Trouble is breaking down in France can be a bit harder than just calling up the Rac and getting relay home, for instance it would be really frustrating if you broke down just because the 100A fuse went, I even carry one of those in the UK

Whatever you take you will not need, I think this is called sodds law.

I'm going with Martin who also is taking his Tamora, so maybe we can have a mini Tamora meet in Le Mans
