John Craddock Ltd Magazine (January 2023)
Does your 2023 goals include taking more road trips here and there? Whether you’re planning a two week journey around Europe or weekend drives across the UK. Before you pack your bags and head off on your next adventure, have you prepared your beloved Land Rover with the essential parts and accessories?
In general, people make sure to bring their mobile phone, a power bank, and spare clothes. You may have packed all these and feel super organised, but is your Land Rover equipped properly? If not, you might want to consider upgrading your Land Rover and packing the following essential parts and accessories:
For Maintenance
Seat Covers
If you regularly notice mud in your car from outdoor activity and you are looking to protect your interior seats from food crumbs and spilled drinks during a road trip, we’ve got you covered! John Craddock Ltd have a range of high-quality seat covers, specifically produced for the Land Rover range in a variety of colours.
Dog Guard
If you often go on road trips with your four-legged friend, a dog guard is an essential accessory for dog owners. Not only do they ensure that your furry companion is safe and secure, they also help to reduce distractions so that you can fully focus on the road ahead. Even better, a dog guard will protect your Land Rover interior from those adorable but muddy paws!
Wind Deflectors
Tailor-made for each vehicle, Climair wind deflectors are quick and easy to install. They fit securely inside your door window channel. There is nothing worse than a stuffy car during a road trip. This handy accessory allows you to keep your window a bit open in harsh weather by preventing rain, wind, and snow from entering through the open window of your Land Rover. So you can breathe in fresh mountain air while inside of your Land Rover and you can keep yourself dry!
Ice Scraper or Snow Brush
We wouldn’t recommend driving during icy or snowy conditions. However, if you have to, be cautious and pack an ice scraper or a snow brush to keep your windscreen frost free!
In Case of A Breakdown
Many people have never experienced a breakdown. As much as we think it won’t happen to us, it’s better to be prepared for it. In the event of an unexpected breakdown during a road trip, these accessories can be lifesavers.
Spare Wheel and Hi-Light Jack
The important thing you should definitely keep in your Land Rover is a spare tyre and jack. John Craddock carries a wide variety of Land Rover tyres. We have tyres in many reliable brands including BF Goodrich. Our range of tyres cover most Land Rover models, from your vintage Land Rover Series to your modern Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Whether you have worn-out tyre treads or have just driven over a nail, keeping a spare tyre and a hi-lift jack in your vehicle is essential. Alternatively, a puncture repair kit includes all the parts necessary to repair tubeless radial or cross ply tyres, without having to remove the tyre from the vehicle or rim.
Jump Leads
If your vehicle runs out of juice from a flat battery, this could leave you in a stranded situation. Every Land Rover driver or in fact, every driver should have jump leads in their vehicle at all times. A breakdown rarely happens but you’ll never know when you’ll need a jump start or you may come across another motorist who will need them.
Jerry Cans
Running out of petrol is rare. However, even though it’s very unlikely to happen, having a Jerry Can in your boot is still a good idea. Carrying one means if you do find yourself starting to run low on juice, you should have enough to get you to the closest petrol station.
For Safety
Hi-Vis Vest, Torch, and Warning Triangle
A high visibility vest and a warning triangle to keep you safe and alert approaching motorists. Having a torch will help you to see better at night or if you need to check out under the bonnet. Additionally, you can use a torch and a warning triangle to signal breakdown assistance or emergency services.
First Aid Kit
Last but not least, a first aid kit is another essential item that should always be kept in your vehicle just in case of minor accident and injury. A first aid kit contains plasters, gauze dressings, alcohol-free cleansing wipes, scissors, tape, and more.
