Defender essential spares

Hello guys and gals.

I'm planning on sticking up a 'spare's cupboard in my garage soon, and wondered what you would consider would be essential spares for a Depender (don't say an entire other Depender!!) Just to stop me having to bugger off to Halfords every time something goes wrong!!

I don't want to go all out with gear boxes, drive shafts etc, I'm thinking more along the lines of regular maintenance stuff:

Glow plugs
Oil (all types)
Timing belts
Bulbs

Can you suggest any more?

Cable ties, tape, some self tappers and a big hammer to put em in with.

Fuses, wire and crimps.

FUSES!! Always bloody forget them!
Them and filters!

Plenty of assorted nuts, bolts and washers.

I specifically said not that ya git!

Well stating the obvious but what ever you keep nipping to Halfords for.

Timing BELTS, glow plugs? Surely these aren't the sort of thing you will realise at the last minute you need? In my limited experience, a grinder and spare discs, various nuts, bolts and washers, a party pack of WD40 And a big hammer.

fluids and gaffa tape

I've not really had the same thing come up twice apart from fluids. I guess I'm slowly rebuilding my 90 as time goes by..... bit by bit!
