OK - that doesn't help much as my new one - which admittedly I bought at a LR show about five years ago - has nothing like that in the box. I will assume that the good old silicone will do the trick - and keep my fingers crossed. Richard

I would take two classes of spares: 1. Items that are likely to wear out in the next couple of years. That includes standard service items, like oil/air filters, etc as Paddy says. 2. Items that are very costly to airmail over to Norway from UK. That would be anything large and/or heavy. That might include things like some extra tyres - depending on the cost of tyres in Norway.

Folks, I have a 1991 110 TUM that I am restoring. The original escape hatch was leaking badly, so I found a complete new one for a modest sum. I have removed the original - with some difficulty as the screws were severely rusted in. Now I have it all out, I find the original external trim piece was fixed to roof with some sort of black sealant/mastic. This sealant was not the rubbery sort of stuff that is used to seal domestic window frames in walls - it had set fairly solid, and needed to be scraped off (which was easy). Anyone know what this black sealant is? Its not shown on my parts lists (either the miliary or civvy one). Failing that - anyone have advice on the kind of stuff to use to reseal the outer trim to the roof? thanks Richard
