yo westammer, u must have some serious links, if your riding about with 10G a kit on board, but my advice is to buy toyota, the chinks know how to rip off a good engine, and keep them purring for long time. Ive got some pommy mate who pops over to me now and then and leaves his kit at my gaff and his van, so i just sold my old wreck, and cruise about in his rig, costing me sweet f a !, i might be mental but I`m not stupid u knaameen. u wanna get the essential tool kit; pliers, flathead, and possy drivers, and a good bit a duct tape, saved me manyer time.
And get a tow rope and tuck it away some where. cause when someone turns up and offers help, u dont wanna leave ya goodies in no mans land, for the thiefs to scavenge.
Praying to mecca normally works as well, picked it up on an indo flight.
You be careful out there westammer, and by the way you support a crap soccer team, mate; fair dinkum
It happened to me. What I did was bolt my least favourite board to the roof. Rig up my biggest sail and sailed the van to safety.
Worked that well that I continued 300 km to where I was going. Stayed there for my 3 weeks, sailing the car to and from camp to the sailing spot, then sailed it back home to Perth.
I wasn't even going to get the van fixed but I got pulled over by a cop and got defected.
Been there done that.I left a Combi van in the middle of the Nullabour a few years ago.
It's still there....
seized a gear box on the way to exmouth fully loaded.
Hitch to nearest servo phoned rac and got the car towed 4hours later.
Lucky for us my mates were going up later that nite so we jump in with them.
Left the car with the mechanic and caught the bus back down 2 weeks later to pick up car all fixed and ready to go.
Best advice get rac ultimate and get a sat phone if your unsure of you car
