I want to put togther a toolbox which will be specific to my Disco

When heading for a trail, I would like to be able to throw into the back a single toolbox knowing that the tools in there are able to get me by...

Are there any specific tools you would always want to take with you, or ones that are disco specific that you may not otherwise carry?
Or have you been out on the trail and needed a lefthanded-fluglegrinder which you had at home but not with you?

Maybe I should start with:

A Big Hammer
An Axe

And two sticks of Dynamite ....

If it was just any old car, one stick would do for sure, but it's a landRover, so pack two.

Always got by with a good halfords socket set, ratchet spanners, hammer gaffer tape, mobile phone and green flag comprehensive cover.

beer, chair, torch, haynes manual (just to keep u occupied whilst waiting for a tow), phone, and you'll need a good waterproof coat coz she'll always go wrong in the rain! miles from anywhere other than that, do you have enough room in the tool box for a fully kitted out workshop?!

Velcro gloves are much better

Seems I had it covered pretty well. I always carried the gaffa tape, the sockets, the hammer, the tow ropes and the WD40.

Usually I got a leatherman, beer, chairs and waterproofs when headiing for the trail.


Now where can I get me some of those velcro gloves???

Just a quick point. Where in/on a disco is the toolkit pray tell? theres a jack under the bonnet but no sign of a wheelwrench and have you seen the size of those wheelnuts?

Umm, on mine there is a black case in the tailgate door pocket which has the wheel brace in it.

Just lifted up the rear seat and nothing there. just a velco strap where I guess it used to be. However, all was not lost, I did find 43p under there....
