What's in your on board tool kit?

[3lud13]

Something I have just started keeping in car is a 7mm socket both normal and deep and I would recomend any 300tdi owners do the same I found myself regularly reaching for it the other day to under different bolts around the engine bay.

what should i be carrying in my 130 as for toolbox and spares

[Sprint]

Hmm.... it appears I missed my spanner collection from that list....

[Peters1]

I carry sockets full set
ring open end spanners
Adjust spanners
pliers
vice grips
screwdrivers
hack saw files
wire
gas soldering kit
blow torch
solder
big hammer

[Blknight.aus]

I carry a fair bit more than that bit then I'm usually planning on using my skill sets to help others out and I can't always guarantee that they Will have the tools I need to apply my skills.

I think my best effort to date was reheading an engine in a caravan park.

I'll get some photos of the loud out for the disco from my trip to Wagga from amberly

A bit overboard?!

Nah... not if you've got the room

I take 3/8" sockets etc as well - often easier to use than 1/2"

All this and no cable ties?

[loneranger]

I thought I had a reasonably comprehensive toolkit for my abilities when we go on holiday, but after our last trip, which was also the first time I ever needed anything beyond the basic sockets and screwdrivers I'm reviewing it.

I'll be adding a few more things such as grease gun, breaker bar, couple of lumps of wood, going to increase my collection of nuts and bolts and I still want to add a good spanner set and a larger adjustable spanner.

This is what I have in my 1950 Land Rover 80" tool kit along with a origional owners hand book & a coil of hemp rope for the capstan winch
