    I carry the same stuff as everyone else, except the jack. I have not had to use any of it on several very remote trips but have destroyed 3 tyres on my trips, only one at a time, even though I carry 2 spares. On each occasion I have used the standard jack with no problems. I use a trolley jack at home, though.

    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.

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

    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.

    Rightly so! I put a wheel under the chassis if no stand on hand.
