Having spent a lot of time away with various wagons I always find I over pack on spares, comman faults I come across that needs spares would be a clutch slave cylinder, fanbelt, tensioner and water pump. and To be honest if you have a good service and look over a week or to prior and address any possible issues you should be fine. Depending how off the beaten track you plan on going a tyre repair kit is good to have.
This is mainly based on a 300tdi so similar enough. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

Tbh it depends how far you are going, where and what you're doing. Central Africa then you'll need a lot, EU you wont need much at all, the UK barely anything.
For any long-ish journey I would take a fan belt, crank positioning sensor, selection of jubilee clips and a Nanocom/Hawkeye. The TD5 will run without most of its sensors working or connected but the CPS will stop it dead. Having a Nanocom with you will mean you can clear faults off and diagnose any issues if they crop up. Takes the  when you have to get recovered home because of a simple fault you could have sorted at the side of the road! It's happened to me a few times 
Fuel pump is not something I would want to change "out in the field" often requires a days work and a lot of drilling depending on how you want to do it. Replace it now and forget about it. And obviously a tool kit, I keep a Halfords 150pc kit in my 110 at all times. |

Thanks all - as regards the "how far" question, this is mostly UK... he reason I ask is that I have been on the back of a flatbed twice in the first year of ownership and now I am more familiar with her I would like to avoid being lifted home or...
As regards the fuel pump I reckoned it would be a 1-2hr job as there are already 2 access panels in the floor of the 90 so I assumed it would take the time to clean, remove, replace... Will this kind of thing read the fault codes on a Defender? I'd like to avoid 400-odd quid on a Nanocom http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-ALL-Ca...1164060781 Thanks |

Good to know youve got the access points, still though much better an easier to replace at home than at the side of the road.
UK wise, then Nanocom/Hawkeye, CPS sensor, fan belt and a few sizes of jubilee clips. Should not need much more |

Bare in mind that the only sensor that'll actually stop a Td5 from running is the crank sensor. Probably worth having one of those as a spare

Some UJs for your prop, especially if going somewhere with rough terrain
 I often thought about bolting a vice somewhere for such time you need to bend, press, hold things! TD5 Defender 90

I wouldnt wanna change UJs away from home unless I absolutely had to! Each time I've done it that job has been a right pain! I'd rather just carry a spare prop haha
+1 on rough terrain/off roading - Id considering a set of rear shafts & flanges, usually pretty cheap and dead easy to change. Even easier if you have the right kind of wheels! |

Unless you are off for a prolonged period in a very wilderness area, I wouldn't bother with UJs or propshafts since you can so easily take a propshaft off and drive out.
