Tool Kit

[Guest Knownothing]

Putting together a small tool kit to carry in the Robin Hood. Any suggestions?

[Guest whiz]

yeah a little plastic card that says recovery on it. your list could be endless so where do you stop,

 

pliers

metric spanners

screwdrivers

cable ties

duck tape

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Plug socket, spare plugs and a spare coil pack, alternator belt.

 

You could go on and on but that's all we carry along with what Wizz added.

 

Good recovery, not that we have needed it yet in 12 years.

As above: Recovery card

 

Then its just all basic toolkit 3/8th sockets, screwdriver with interchangeable bits, pliers tape, zip straps, length of string ( choose your own length :-) ) , knife, popular spanners and allen keys. i also carry one "specialist tool" thats a shortened allen key for the starter bolt thats recessed into the sump casing.

 

All fits into a soft plastic 10" * 8" * 1.5" case that sits behind the drivers set

 

Essentially the basic tools I would need to tighten/strap things up, swap easily accessible bolts around, reconnect broken wires etc for anything more serious its the phone number on the card.

 

Only "spares" I carry:

 

Bulbs

Can of petrol

Clutch cable ('cos I got a type 9 in a Zero)

Jack and wheel brace if you have a spare wheel.

I carry a small motorist tool kit just a cheap one thats in its own carry case and supplimented it with some tiewraps, fuses and tape.

[Guest Gargoil]

Multi tool, containers of oil, coolant and fuel. Anything else can be done by Mr Recovery.

Totally over the top and I will admit be to being rather anal-retentive about it. But my logic is that if I carry all this kit I will never need to use it. The day you leave the house without something is when you need it.

The boot space is for a tent, 2 chairs sleeping bags, cooker and beer and if space allows food.

All of which you will need.

Ditch the spare & fit one --- will double your storage.

[richyb66]

Dogged determination and a good sense of humour.

 

The first might help you fix the problem.

 

The second will help if you can't.

Luckily my wife refuses to ride in the car so I can use the passenger footwell for all that
