A good list, I would also add :-

A 'good' first aid kit. VW do a really good one. Some of the kits on general sale are not good and very expensive for what you get. The VW one is in a really got solid sealed box so keeps every thing clean and dry. I added to mine a small bottle of hand cleaner and extra gloves.

As a good second ALDI have done some in the past for 5 UK pounds. So good I went back and bought 5 more as Christmas presents. OK I know I'm cheap, but as an OAP it pays to be!!!

Thats some other stuff i've got in the glove box thats accumulated for some reason. Alcohol hand sanitiser stuff, paracetemol and piriton tablets! I used to have a small first aid kit but never filled it back up after patching someone up years ago, must get one.

The tablets ended up in there somehow and figured they're quite useful to have, especially anti allergy. You never know what bites or stings you can get out and about.

My Jimny has turned into a tardis. I wanted it to be like Pandora's box but I never managed to pull a girl called Pandora to sample her box!

Mine contains:

Halfords 200 piece socket and spanner set
Screwdrivers
Mole grips
Pliers and cutters
Test lamp

All the above lives permanently in the boot space behind the back seats with a Numax battery in there too, all strapped securely down and proven not to budge when the car is put on it's side!

On the roof I also have a ground anchor and waffle boards.

The car has a CB, external cage, heavy duty bumpers and a front winch.


Guess who's the most popular man in his club when their poxy Landrovers break!

I know this is a lot to carry but every bit of it has been used at some point out and about, either for me or others who were needy and wouldn't get home otherwise. Note I still retain 4 seats!

Garage on wheels!

I need to do the same, even if its only for the harsh winter, if it comes.

It is a bit, bourne out of paranoia in turn bourne out of experience!
