Hi all,

I'm placing an order with Pelican for some various items and was thinking I might as well order so parts that are just good to have on hand.

I'm thinking:

1. Fuse Kit - part #: 003481803-M44
2. Alternator/Air Pump belt - part # 999-192-176-50-M21
3. DME Relay - part # 911-618-154-00-M252
4. Window Switches part # 911-613-621-03-M100

Anything else I should add to the list of parts to keep handy just in case? I know that's a loaded question...

thanks,

I always have an oil filter or two and drain seals. That's about it.

But, I have tons of stuff anyway!

I'd add bulbs to your list in lieu of window switches.

My spares list includes the little white plastic clips for the inner door handle rod, seat back release *****, bulbs including gauge bulbs that you can't get at a FLAPS, and an extra set of front wheel bearings, which I keep in the long distance bag.

Included with fuses, bulbs, belts and similar items for the "in car" kit, I also carry a fuel filter and main relays for the SC - one black, one red

For long distance trips I start carrying more parts as typically I am not able to access things close to where I travel.

For the DME Relay, can I go with Kaehler or should I go Genuine Porsche? - $25 vs. $100...

Don't forget a fat and wide shoe lace in case the fuel filler release cable breaks and you nedd to open the fuel filler door.

My cable broke last year and while I have got a replacement cable I have not been able to fish the new cable through the hole to fix it so I continue to use the shoe lace.

Or a piece of weed eater filament for the above fuel filler.

Because I'm in an area that seems top take a while to get things from the US, I tend to try to be self reliant and keep lots o'goodies at home. Some of those items are listed above, but in addition I usually keep an air filter, valve cover gasket kit, BP oil, and all the other miscellaneous extra bits of stuff (I usually try to get an extra one of everything I buy unless it is too expensive to keep in the stock pile).

The notes on the fuel door are priceless and one had best pay strict attention to that.

I'm ****, in that I keep all kinda' stuff onboard, especially when on a trip. (even a spare thermostat and S-hose for the oil tank). I keep all of things mentioned thus far, at all times.

AAA card would be an important tool piece, as well.

BEST!

I also tape a spare lockout key to the suspension.

Cell Phone and a Credit Card.

Always works for me.

In the process of loading up the car for a week long trek through the mountains and out to BC's west coast. In my '****-ness' of being overly prepared I have all but loaded the car with my garage tools and quite an increase in weight.

What realistic tools should I be carrying in terms of wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers and pliers? Am thinking that I am presently way overloaded, but not sure what I can realistically leave behind. My 'Murphy's Law' is if I need it, its at home and whatever I take with me will never be used - almost an insurance policy against having problems.

Thanks

Get yourself one of those "Slime" tire air pump/sealer kits from Cdn Tire ... they're something like 29.00 dollars and they're on sale once in a while.
It can help if you're stranded somewhere as it will seal a puncture up to 1/4 inch !
Probably easier than removing your 20 year old spare and hoping it will inflate ... lol

Cheers!
