I look at it this way, if you're on the bump stops out in the middle of nowhere, changing a flat is the least of your worries, a long handle shovel solves that issue.

There are certain items that should always be taken away with you, a long handle shovel is one of those items.

Hello
Most important bit in our kit is a spare fuse for the engel fridge.
Just using a normal fuse as I blew the fancy engel one.
Cheers

I drive day to day in our car with a cheap obd reader from eBay with a handheld screen. The original ride rods,goe ones are on the car, a full fuse kit. Hamer shifter multimeter electrical tape, duct tape (the fabric type) 22mm socket and bar for wheel nuts (bent the stock one undoing wheels one time) have ordered another brake light switch and will order the rest mentioned great thread

Can it read ecus other than just the engine? Knowing which suspension fault is occurring can be very useful.

Nah it's just a generic engine one $20 inc postage

I have a faultmate but I haven't registered it yet can't afford it at the moment was sold to me with s multi vin license turned up as a single license

surely it depends on the journey, a long stretch to remote area's means a few extra goodies, some LR dealerships will do it on Sale or Return, like:

Set of belts
Set of Turbo Hoses
Set of Radiator hoses
Bulbs and Fuses
Emergency Air Up system from GOE.. i carry rather than fitted just in case

I don't trust jacks, any of them, so I recently brought a fairly lightweight adjustable height axle stand which is far more stable than a jack incase your going to have to do surgery under the vehicle rather than just changing wheels.
