In anticipation...

[TT Tim]

I'm off on a 2.5K mile european trip in a couple of weeks in the 500.

The question is...

What small service/emmergency items should I take with me? If anybody could help me out with part no.s where appropriate that would be great.

I'm thinking bulbs, fuses, relays etc.

Just don't want to be stranded in Switzerland for the sake of £7 FP relay!

Lucky Man,
Did 1.4K in 2 weeks in France last September, superb!

Asked Fernies as to what spares I should take, and they supplied the following

Fuel relays 2 off
Fan belt 1 off
Spare set of bulbs for side, head, winker, rear and brake lights.
A range of fuses. 5, 10's, 15's, 25's, etc.

Got them to check my throttle cable prior to the trip, as a spare is about £50!

I would also suggest a couple of spare 100 amp fuses.
Warning triangle.
First aid kit.
Small can of WD40.
And not forgetting a copy of the bible.

I also purchased a reasonably comprehensive slim line tools kit that included a hammer, from Halfrauds for about £19.

I'm pleased to say I didn’t need any of it! but I had peace of mind knowing it was there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys,

I've got the route planned now, and I can't wait, we're avoiding France so it's Belgium, Luxemburgh, Germany, Switzerland then onto Bologna, Italy.

It gets better, I'm rearranging our return crossing so we can fit in a day at the 'ring.

What with that, the factory tours (Ferrari' Pagini and Lamborgini - hopefully) and the 5* hotel at Lake Como this is going to be an awesome week of TVR fun.

I would just add to that list TyreWeld and the AA europe 5 star cover. Then just have fun!!

and as well as tyre weld, some means of re-inflating
the tyre - unless you have a good pair of lungs.
