With Land Rovers, you might as well tow another car behind you in case you break down.

The ID is 5/16" (8mm). I replaced mine since it was so brittle.

That's because the title of the thread said "spare!"

Things happen, Cheers!
I wouldn't waste space with coolant. Strait water (which everyone should be carrying on a trip) will get you to town and beyond.

Also, bring a spare girlfriend. You never know when one is going to malfunction on a trip.

Unless they came as a matched set before you got them, bringing a 2nd will greatly increase your chances of catastrophic failure on your extended trip.

A copy of Playboy won't go amiss either, not much to do out in the bush.
