Title: Spares carried :) Post by Highlander on Aug 29th, 2009, 1:50pm Just wondered after my "Breakdown" thread if I'm the only one that carries spares :) Who said Scorpios werent reliable ;) What spares if any do you carry in the boot?? I'm running a 2.3 Auto Estate at the minute and heres what I carry }{ Alternator Starter Coil pack Spark plug Spark plug lead (Long one) Serpentine belts (long one and a short one in case the aircon fails) EDIS unit Water hoses Water pump Both fuseboxes! (not to replace them, just for the fuses/relays) Camshaft sensor Crankshaft sensor rear hub complete MAF Oxygen sensor Headlight switch I am with Autoaid (£36 a year) for breakdown recovery which includes everything but home start. but I do like to be able to repair things myself if i can (As long as its not raining) ;) I think I was born 40 years too late! :) |

You're mixing up drive belts with timing belts. Drive belts are for running AC compressors and alternators. |
