I have a 76 2 litre fuel injected manual aircooled kombi and am planning my first road trip in her. I am wondering spares i should take with me, i have a few like clutch cable, accelerator cable, sparkplugs, fuses and bulbs etc. I also want to take some engine oil but what type do my fellow kombi lovers recommend ??? Cheers and thanx guys Jools
I would also recommend a spare fan belt and fuel filter, and the tools to do basic repairs on the side of the road.
I never travel without my plastic (Premium NRMA Roadside Assist ), just incase there is a catastrophic failure.
