    What are most common breakdown causes ?

    I am a new owner 1996 3 ltr TD KZN 185 auto, and would appreciate advice on the most common high risk failure components so I can travel to Spain/Portugal this summer carrying spares.
    I have all new belts ready to fit + oils / coolant / filter changes. + I am buying s/hand starter motor and alternator. But what else would be good to have just in case I come to a grinding halt in the middle of nowhere with little hope of local source of spares ?. Turbo assembly ? viscous fan ? Water pump ? without ending up towing a whole spare SURF just in case ! Odometer now reading 220,000 Km.
    ps: Been driving just over 50 years now and this 1996 SSR-X is the best fun ever. Much appreciate any advice you-in-the-know can offer.

    most commom thing is
    human error
    and it sounds like your going to sort every thing before you go
    theres plenty parts for surfs all over the place
    give it a good flush and change the water pump if your new to the truck
    there about 40 quid

      Take at least one set of bearings for both front and rear axles and the associated seals.

            Yes after 7n1/2 years of faithful service from my second Surf (First was a 2.4 @ 6n 1/2 years) probably won't be able to afford another Vehicle as I approach retirement....So yep now have 2 KZN 130's 3.0l
