Mini compressor, stop-n-go plug kit. 2x 2.5litre fuel & 1lt oil & first aid kit. Gaffa tape, zipties what I coin my kidnap kit. Few tools & the obligatory dual front & rear wheel nut tool.
Recovery card (AA, RAC, or whichever mob I'm with) and a mobile phone. All this spanner and screwdriver crap is a waste of time.
