As with most things if you prepare well before hand, you probably find that all goes to plan, with no problems. Set out without planning and things go awry.

Preparing your Land Rover for an expedition is no different. Be sure, that what you don't do or decide to leave behind, will become needed. This is of course the famous "Sod's Law".

To save all this hassle, it make good sense, to put together a "survival kit" for your vehicle. Although some of what you put in it is a matter of personal choice, many of the items are really classed as essentials. However, to get the very best from your selection, ideally every item should be capable of at least two functions.

Below is a list of useful items:

Spanners & screwdrivers

Spark plug remover

Torch

Spark plugs

Leak sealants oil/water

Jump leads

Pliers

Hacksaw

Fire extinguisher

Hammer

Instant gasket

Extra jack

Assorted nuts & bolts

Self tapping screws

Jack pads (min½"x12")

Tyre levers(2ft)

Tyre valve cores & remover

Puncture repair kit

Spare tyre/tube

Tyre pump

Tyre gauge

Brake/engine/hydraulic fluids

Fan belt etc

Master/slave cylinder repair

Fuel pump/injectors or kit

Fuses

kit for clutch & brakes

Ignition spares/coil

Tie & electrical wire

Duct Tape

Another extremely useful piece of kit is a 12ft length of tow chain, split into 4ft lengths, with connecting shackles. Of course you should always remember that should you have a serious breakdown, your Land Rover itself is a great source of repair materials. Whatever is not essential for moving safely, can be modified or cannibalised.

You may wish to add a glassfibre kit, to keep your vehicle looking good and depending on the conditions you expect to encounter, some additional items such as sand ladders or a winch may be needed. But if there's only a vague possibility that you might get stuck, take some sacks and fill them with whatever you're stuck in. Although this is probably messy, it usually works.

From Engine Protection to Exhaust, Audi Offers the Best

Every Audi car is expected to conquer the roads and highways in style and performance. Troubleshooting seldom happens because Audi puts premium on components that secure the engine's performance, as well as the exhaust system. There are a lot of ways to secure the performance of the engine, and one of them comes in the form of the valve cover gasket. The Audi Valve Cover Gasket basically prevents oil leakage. It is located between the top of the cylinder head and the bottom of the valve cover. Valve cover gaskets are responsible for sealing oil inside the valve cover to avoid leaks while the engine is running. Sometimes, the valve cover tends to sporadically rattle especially when the engine gains more power. Possible leaks may seep out of the valve cover. When this happens, the engine begins to increasingly wane in performance. The Audi Valve Cover Gasket takes care of this problem.

On the other hand, when it comes to the exhaust system, the tail pipe is the end point of an automotive operation. An Audi Tail Pipe is located at the rear end of the exhaust, where it vents to open air. The tail pipe is generally the only visible part of an exhaust system, often ending with just a straight or angled cut, but may include a fancy tip. The tip is usually chromed, and is often of larger pipe than the rest of the exhaust system. This produces a final reduction in pressure, prevents rusting of the tips, and can be used to enhance the appearance of the car. The Audi Tail Pipe also happens to be the least expensive part of the system which fuses both style and functionality.

The Audi Valve Cover Gasket and the Audi Tail Pipe are just some the basic, but equally important parts of an Audi's high performance system, but they also sum up to what amount of care and maintenance one should employ on his vehicle. These parts must not be taken for granted since they play stressful tasks critical to a car's totality.

My 92 Honda Civic Loses about 1 quart a week or so can it be the Valve Cover Gasket?

I am not exactly sure if it is a week or week and a half I don't keep good track of it but I know I do not see any oil ever under the car cause I check it very often(every day that is). I also know the valve cover gasket does leak and it does burn a little oil too! Can the valve cover gaket be the cause of losing so much oil??????

Your valve gasket can be the problem. But if you clean out the rubber gasket, re-tighten the bolts properly on the valve cover, and see no leakage around the gasket but seem to mysteriously still lose 1 quart a week, you may have other worn gaskets.

Buy a gasket kit which includes gaskets for your cylinder block and bushings for your valves. Replace your old ones and see if that helps maintain the level of oil in your engine. If you're burning oil, it will be oil leaking into one or more of your combustion chambers and out your tail pipe as dark smoke.

Good luck!

1) Had to replace "T.A.C." hose every couple of weeks. It was an aluminum hose covered with black paper. It connected the air filter to the exhaust header, providing warm air to the carburetor during startup. It was designed poorly, and was easily damaged just by bumping it.
