Emergency Tool kit

[jifflemon]

One for discussion;

Do people carry them? Or rely on breakdown cover?
My tool choice goes thus: can I
Change a tyre
Swap a drive belt
Add coolant / secure a hose.
Change a terminal
Change bulbs
Check for voltage
Pull a fuse
Illuminate stuff
Secure something.

I always carry

1ltr of engine oil
2ltr still water (emergency coolant)
bulb kit
Screwdriver
Spare tyre
Blue Volvo bag with wheel jack and brace



Oh and the 3-decade old first aid kit that came with the car…

If on a long trip I carry:

Fire Extinguisher
Spare Oil can
Disklok (well always in my case)
Screenwash
Jack
Spare wheel
Swiss Army Knife (well a copy of one)
Duct Tape

All completely sealed, expiry dates vary depending on the item inside the kit from 1995 to around 1997 leading me to believe this kit did in fact come with the car in 1993.
