A toolbox is always a good idea, as well as some oil, coolant, the usual. But what about more specific things, like cooling top rubber hose, or EAS bypass valves, specific fuses, etc? What are some of you guys's essentials?

I've just got recovery service, shrader valves, some leak off tubing and the nano.
I carry nothing in the 110.

Just a Nanocom, spare compressor & small adjustable spanner (for fitting it), plus some oil & water in mine these days.

Years ago I always had a toobox in the car, but these days if required will get it recovered home instead.

Generally considered wise to tow a spare car behind you!

If long distance then definitely a Nanocom. In my wheel-well I have a roll of metric and imperial spanners going all the way from 4 mm up to an inch. Also pliers .and various screwdrivers. Duck tape and paracord are also in there plus a few bits of wire with a fuse and also an LED worklamp.

Always got a spare EAS compressor under the passenger seat. And Quiksteel as well.

Forgot the full set if spare lamps and fuses plus a standard relay.

Ahh yes. Forgot to add the compressor, gloves and overalls to my list. Also an led torch that's permently plugged in in the aux plug in the boot and the necessary lead to charge a phone.

The small 3.2mm id pipe that links all the injectors and fuel line on the diesel engine to return the unused fuel back to pump.
