    Great list of tools.

    Spanichabod? thread about PTU repair, made good use of a wire crimping tool. I think one of those would be a useful addition.

    Some of you blokes should have the Snap-on Tool Van in tow!

    The secret is, make your car reliable!

    Ha it's not just your own car that can break down on a cruise though -besides I like having a set of "spare" tools I can take to a tech day etc while my "house" tools stay safely locked up at home :)

    For a quick fix, you can use rescue tape (the silicone one) for repairing split hoses. Will get you out of a fix if a hose blows.

    Personally, I just never drive the thing... and buy premium roadside assistance in case I need it.
    Not giving a **** also helps :rofl:

    I use these tools to get to the nearest garage


    My opinion is I would add the following in addition

    Strong Large Black Plastic Ties
    Gator Grip Socket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny4H...yer_detailpage
    Long nose pliers
    Spare Fuses
    Telescopic Magnetic Pickup Tool with Light
    Multimeter
    Electrical Tape
    Plumbing Tape
    Spanner Set 10/12/13/14/15/17/19

    For long trips I would also add:

    Some strong tie wire - small roll 2m
    Spare Fan/ Aircon and PS belts
    Small car solar panel (plug in or wired in)
    Water 5L
    Small Socket Set as per spanner sizes
    Emergency Roadside Lights (small portable)
    2 x adjustable lockable ratchet straps (1-2m)
    1 Pair locking Multigrip Pliers
    1 File
    Spare Nissan Relay
    Small first aid kit

    Most of the above doesn't consume much space except for the water / fan belts and small 2w solar panel (approx. 20cmx 20cm) and so will fit into a small tool bag.

    There are many other handy tools but they can be obtained at an average garage station whereas I have found these tools are what's needed to get to that nearest garage station ;)

    Whenever I go anywhere, I take my 1/4 drive set, 3/8 set, ratchet spanners, screwdriver set, various long nose pliers, magnet on a stick, electrical tape, spare ecu, spare ptu, zip ties, water, rags, hose clamps and sometimes the low profile ramps.

    Oh and multimeter.
