General Tool kit for the car - bare essentials?

[Sando]

I got thinking the other day that if I broke down (and it was something pretty minor) I dont have any tools in the car except a flathead screwdriver that I use for my amps to adjust levels and filters on the move.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I could have in the car that would be useful if I broke down. I already have RAC cover anyway, so Im not planning on doing too much if I ever break down (touch wood!).

I have seen one kit that comes with a sprocket set with about 10 different sized bits, 4 screwdrivers, a few spanners and a couple of pairs of pliers. Do you think this would suffice?

That sounds about right. Most things in the engine appear to be held on with 13mm nuts \ bolts....Feckin' ECU[!]!!!

I carry 2 tool kits, a double-barrel footpump, and some insulation tape. The tape is invaluable if a hose splits on the move [:0]
