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.

First aid kit, triangle, bottles of water, torch (must check if it needs new batteries sometime) & an atlas. In with the spare wheel there is a hi viz, can of tyre weld (about 10 years old so I have no idea if it would still work !) and one of those extending wheel brace jobbies.
