GT_lenny Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 after this little incident I decided it would be a good idea to invest in some cheap tools and a little toolbox to carry in the 'tina what do you lot carry, I've got spanners 8-27mm sockets 8-19mm screwdrivers mole grips , side cuts, little torch and of course cable ties and bodge tape now then, am i missing anything?
GT_lenny Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Posted May 18, 2010 A can of WD40 ?? everthings new - more likley to fall off than be a sod to undo
GT_lenny Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Posted May 18, 2010 rac card greg_russianbear off here sorted me out with some free breakdown cover when i took out a policy with them
Jiffer Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 I flip out at any little noise in mine just a tow rope and spare wiper blades after losing one on the way to boxhill
Fiesta Steve Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 Just a mobile phone nothing else. I drive my car daily too It never lets me down, I'd drive it to the moon and back
Mrs O/H/C Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 A can of WD40 ?? everthings new - more likley to fall off than be a sod to undo Can be used for a multitude of things not just undoing things

Billy_smith Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 even if everything is new i would also recommend WD-40. things like new HT leads on damp cold mornings will suffer wen there new, i always wd40 new leads and caps. also new components tend to hold moisture which could cause problems
deltamal Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 Used to use a stocking for a fan belt back in the day! but the item and the source have disappeared
