I am sure that if I would spend a couple of days browsing this forum I could answer the following question, but maube this wheel has already been invented:

What items does the forum deem to be a mandatory part of a technical survival kit for a 4.2 cerbera being out of reach of our UK TVR service points for a week or so looking to cover 1000+ miles...?

I was thinking:
- oil
- bulbs
- fire extinguisher
- fuses (including the 100 amp one: by the way does it make sense to upgrade to 125 amp, or would that put systems in danger?)
- heavy duty charger cables
- screwdrivers to be able to break into car (but than again they would be in the car when needed.....). Or we could get into " is that a screwdriver in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me...? kind of scenario...

but there surely must be some Cerbera specific things which might come in handy....

thx

might be worth taking a clutch master cylinder and some clutch fluid? They are difficult to get abroad but not that expensive to buy and you will most likely need one at some time.

Cerb specific: tyre weld and a small compressor

Not cerb specific: jump leads, high vis vest, warning triangle (some/all of these are mandatory depending on the country)

An allen key that will remove under bonnet panel. A spare throttle cable or you can get an emergency repair one. A couple of cans of tyre weld. Tim

....a lightweight alloy trolley jack - at least then you'll be able to fix it smile

PS I've been to the S of France twice, the car never mised a beat.
