MUST have spares!

[Trialmaster]

I have seen various threads and meant to make a list and failed.

People have discussed various things that we should carry in case of problems.

SPARES
1) ABS sensor cable (I believe). If this is the one - what is the part number as I'll add it to my kit.
2) Spare Fuses - done.
3) Brake Pads - done.


Can we add to or amend the list, and then I'll create a spreadsheet?

I think the Doc down under has put a list together somewhere - will try and find.

Rad hoses of various lengths for definite...considering our UK builds

Bring to get even a spare parts list out of people is or seems to be impossible have been at it 2 days now but no luck. Tried 4 different dealers oh is that all of them?

I would love to get that list.

All I can really think of is:

1. Fues
2. ABS Sensor wire (I hope all the wheels are the same part)
3. Teraflex CV Joint and associated tools.

Those are really the only things that I can think of that have been failing.

May I ask where you bought the brake pads and how much they cost? Did you buy them from Ineos or on the open market? The problem with Ineos spare parts is that, although you can find some original manufacturer numbers on the vehicle, these original numbers are of no use because they don't appear anywhere in the manufacturer's parts lists. Therefore, it's impossible to obtain information about these parts or find alternative parts.

It is not confirmed, but you can buy front and rear brake pads online, with ~2 days delivery.
Here's a link to my find.
These are good pads, but I haven't found who has them in stock.

 

[Greasemonkey]

Thank you for your response. But if you enter the numbers in your link, these pads look different than the ones "Arkaig" posted form the original ones. Besides, I don't intend to pay €650 for a set of front brake pads.

A tire.

 

[landmannnn]

Searching for IG front pads on EBC website, they have them available.

Interestingly clicking on fitment they appear to be the same as the Renault Master (and many of those other Opel/Vauxhall/Nissan vans out of the same factory in France). Looking at various pictures they do indeed look the same.

I wouldn’t rely on pics.

Once you start to add tyre repair kit, inflator, wheel studs and the chest of shiny tools ror all purposes, you'll be needing a Quartermaster with additional load capacity.
It certainly gets ugly once you play "what can possibly go wrong?"

You may be right. I pulled the FMSI numbers from RockAuto offering; ordered a set - will report the fitment.

Not really. I have a large twin-piston pump, tire repair kit, and a smattering of tools, and they don't take that much space.

I’m more conscious of weight rather than space. The Grenadier has decent payload for the class, not exceptional. And it sure is tempting to add several hundred pounds worth of bolt on accessories to these things.

Robert pepper did a video on the payload traps manufacturers set, using the grenadier as an example:

The summary is the payload isnt nearly as impressive as advertised.

Recovery gear?
But you don't have mud where you are.

Where did I mean recovery gear?
I do carry a long strap, a few shackles, and a 4-ton come-along. All of this doesn't take much space, either. Mud I rarely see, but I do occasionally; used the strap and shackles to pull a stuck pickup truck from deep snow recently.

Only a fuse list here.

Also get a spare oil filter, air filter and cabin air filter - always handy to have. If you have water /fuel separator (some diesels) have a spare filter.

As always , it depends upon location & circumstances!

But they are a bit crazy.

 

[Jeffrey]

Is a brake job a likely requirement in the field?

 

[Tazzieman]

True, but there are plenty of nasty unexpected circumstances for even moderately brave travellers and explorers down here.
Special kind of silty mud due to the geology of the island.
And if you travel solo it adds to the risk.
Hence full recovery gear incl winch, winch extension rope, Zoleo and Starlink.
Maybe some heavy straps in case you break the beefy underpinnings - unlikely IMO.
