Emergency triangle
first aid kit
empty 5 litre plastic fuel thing
wheel nut brace
jack
blanket
military folding shovel
picnic table (ok it forms the boot floor and is a Honda thing)
baby wipes
4x small cartons of ribena
umbrella
2x stick on side window sunshades
5 or 6 big plastic bags now you don't get bags in shops
couple of bungee leads

Best of all, because my spare wheel is external boot door mounted, all this fits under my picnic table in the space where a normal spare wheel would be, so my uhh upper boot? is still empty.

I have a couple of big wind up rechargeable torches in the door bins too.

I had a screw in a tyre this week and had cause to use this recently purchased item.

XtremeAuto® CAR VAN TYRE TIRE PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT WITH 10 STRIPS https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004JFZGRO/ref=cm_sw_r...

Worked brilliantly. Much better than the useless gunk kit I've tried before.

I think they are good too. Whenever I've had a puncture I've used these in preference to gunking. No doubt someone will say that we aren't posting this as we are dead from the explosive impact after repair. I've always used this as a get you home and a proper repair afterwards.

3 ton trolley jack, still unopened.
Two litres of water.
Seven and a half litres of oil, an oil filter, eight spark plugs and an air filter.
A pair of wellies.
Tucked down around the spare wheel, wrapped in rags to stop any noise : a full Halfrauds professional socket set, 7-30 mm spanners and a lump hammer.
A big torch and several hundred marine shells.

I've just realised that I am turning into my Dad.
Wow, you've either got a massive car or really knackered suspension hehe
