By the time we leave on our overland trip, which might be for 40,000 / 50,000 km., our LR Defender 110 Td5 (2.5 litre diesel engine) CSW will have done about 60,000 km. It has been well taken care of and serviced every 10,000 km.

I plan to carry a well-stocked supply of spare parts, including what will be needed for routine services. I would like to know “what might be likely to break first” i.e. what are the essential non-routine parts we should take, which parts would be “a very good idea to carry” and which parts “could well be needed”??? I’m assuming, which I think is a realistic assumption, that if and when we break down, this will not be near a Landrover dealership.

One thing I’m wondering about is the suspension. We are only two people, but I envisage carrying a fairly heavy load and wonder if the suspension will be OK carrying this day-in, day-out.

All advice appreciated.
 
Apart from the basics for servicing take some extra fuel filters, spare propshaft UJs, spare keys/fob, second spare wheel, syphon hose, spare wheel bearings, spare half shafts, spare diff and spare CV joint if you have them. What kind of expedition are you taking and where?
 
Like shifty said , what type of overland ? .

But i would be thinking alone the lines of ball joints ( if you pop one off roading ) . brake pads might be an idear , defo belt set , coolant , brake fluid and a few hoses , but all depends whats your doing ?
