We attempted to keep our list of spares minimal. Below is
a list of the spares that we initially took with us. Below
that is a running list of other spares that we needed to buy
along the way.
| Item |
Description |
| Fuel lift pump. |
Used on our first day of travel. We
managed to buy another new one in Swakopmunt. |
| Diesel filters X 3 |
We will probably need more of these
due to dodgy fuel in some countries. |
| Oil filter |
|
| Spare tyres x 3 |
|
| Spare tubes x 3 |
|
| Spare second hand alternator |
We replaced the alternator before
leaving South Africa, and took the old alternator along. |
A running list of spares we should have had:
| Item |
Description |
| Clutch slave cylinder
kit. |
We heard of a heap of people in Namibia
who had problems with their clutch slave cylinders. We
had to replace our entire cylinder halfway through Namibia. |
| Drive Members |
The drive members connect the rear
wheels to the half-shafts, therefore converting the engine
rotation to the wheels. It turns out that these are prone
to stripping. We've had to replace two already and now
have an extra two as spares. |
| Half Shafts |
As with the drive members, the half-shafts
are prone to stripping and also breaking. This is particularily
true of the longer shaft (the righthand on on our vehicle).
We have replaced it once to date and now carry a spare. |
