Also,
8 mm hex key on 3/8 drive with extension (for removing starter motor - not sure if it's needed on the TD5)
Torx drivers (with hole for the MAF sensor and bigger size for the rear door latch adjustment)
7/16 (I think!) ring spanner for brake bleeding

I wouldnt travel without a monkey wrench (Stillson)! Years ago I bought an aluminium handled Ridgid one, it's come in handy many times and is not heavy, see this one:

Thanks for all the useful input!
Just came across an interesting post documenting tools required for a 60K mile/100K km service on a Discovery here:
60,000 mile service report
I've de-dupped the tool list and it looks like it might provide a good basis for a d2 toolkit, altho being for a V8 there may be some changes required to suit TD5?

32+36mm from memory depending on varient (yes Im too lazy to walk out to the shed and measure mine.
that last list you put up is a pretty good start point for a kit that should get most of the work done.
you'll want more than just the t25 and 5mm allen key though..
no using the hi lift jack for servicing. Or if your going to at least name me in your will as recieving something before you start work.
36mm skinny spanner (5mm thick)for the nut and a 3 hole special tool (C Spanner)to hold the viscous hub(also 5mm thick).Quote:

Makes it so much easier to remove the fan.

Found this site for fan removal
I will make them 5mm flat I hope
Considering the you have to remove the fan for belt replacement or radiator etc etc this tool must be a "dont leave home without it"

as mentioned above this pretty well covers it, As for the fan hub spanner, they aren't all that expensive and an essential part of the kit. I made my own by grinding out a spanner I already had.Quote:

Also 11mm on a D2 is needed to undo brake lines (flat) and to remove seats (ring or socket )
