Hi Guys
I have a trip to India coming up soon, as a C5 EFI owner, what spares would you suggest bring back in my luggage? I arrive in Kerala and plan a trip to the factory in Chennai, and does anyone know the best places to get the spares from?
Many thanks
Dave

I've heard of seat sniffers before, but this brings it to a whole new level.

Be careful not to let a spark fall on it or you have a completely different problem.
