How about the proven and reliable "Joolz" kit?

AA man????

I find that a wing and a prayer work quite well, failing that I have my trusty AA card, but even that is getting a little worn out, had a letter from the AA telling me that should I call them out again it was going to cost me! Oh, the joys of Cerbera ownership. Evry trip's an adventure.

Best set of tools I ever bought for the Cerb were a set of ring 'Professional' ratchet spanners from Halfrauds, about £35 ish (combinnation Ring ratchet and open ended metric 8mm-19mm) the ratchet ring has a 'bendy' head, if you know what I mean, I havent found anything that they wont fit, best money I have ever spent (tools wise), buy a set!
My tool kit is the above spanner set, a set of Allen keys, a Mole grip, Duck tape, insulation tape, fuses, screwdriver, and a big massive old fashioned screwdriver from a Car boot sale, about 18" long, always comes in useful for levering things off.

went down local halfords and they`ve only got individual spanners ie more expensive. they do look v good though.

Mark - These are the ones I bought

yeah, saw them but but that set doesn`t have the "bendy" head. the bloke had some individual spanners with bendy heads- they looked much more versatile so i`ll go with those. next on my list screwdrivers! do i need flat, phillips, posidrive, torx? some or all of the above?

[jensena]

im sure it was those in the link, Check iy again, it says Flexibke heads !

[mark r skinner]

yeah, the caption is right but the pic is wrong. no worries! i know the ones you mean. looked at another set for £90 odd and they werwn`t as good as halfords....
