Vital spares

Imagine you are going to take your Td5 Defender County Station Wagon, year 2005, now with 65,000 km on the clock, on a long (50,000 km?) trip from the Gulf region to Europe and then to the Americas and onward.

You are limited to carrying a maximum of four spare parts, other than filters, a fan belt and hoses.

Which four would those be?

injector loom, throttle pot, in tank fuel pump, crankshaft sensor. If you made it 5 parts I'd add a fuel pressure regulator and a . Most other parts that fail (maf, map, etc) will still allow the vehicle to be driven. A spare set of injector seals and washers plus an injector and a Nanocom would also be on the list.
