The alternator doesn't bother me but that bustard coolant leak in the valley is the one that gives me concern, it goes you will be well a truly up the creek and need more than a spanner or two, a hose blowing I have found over the years will cause more grief than most things.......well throwing a leg does sort of solve any road side fix............ of course knowing how to change the things and having the tools to do it does help, I have come across people who carry the spare parts but have no idea of the how to, which in itself is not a biggy and is a sensible approach when you need help.

Have noticed from mates with JGC that those who follow a certain faceache page tend to get more worried..........

So each to their own, a sat phone and full road service along with a BiC lighter and good insurance you should have the numbers covered.......... at least nowadays your not as remote as when I first wandered out into nowhere, in fact nowhere has gone, as much as folk think they are no where in 2021 come back to the 70's with me and I will show you what nowhere is really like........... no phone, HF radio and the sealed road ran out before Charleville......... a trip to Innaminka was an adventure, but you fixed a car with spanners and a hammer..........
