EDSTARVR6 0 Posted July 22, 2006 I have just returned from my first driving holiday with the 'rado. Me and my girlfriend spent a week around Pembrokeshire. Was excellent, but thats another story. On the first day the fuse for the sunroof/lighter socket blew (when the sunroof was open), not a disaster as by chance I had a spare. But I was wondering what sort of equipment people keep in the 'rado on long journeys just in case. Heres what I have what should be added? (be a little sensible though I know the heat is going to some peoples head!) Fuses 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 amp. Jump leads Warning triangle First aid kit (new from VW with all items in date) Torch Air compressor Multimeter Insulating tape Pipe hose and repair tape (from Halfords) Bulbs (headlight, brake) Bottle of G11+ Bottle of Water Fire extingusher I think thats about it. What should I add to the list (or taken away)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
