need a torch and spare batteries for night fixes

[dori_86]

yeah but get one of those wind up LED torches so then u dont have to worry about batteries going dead plus some come with a mobile phone charger connection if your lucky

+1, these are great and actually last a while once you wind em up

where about do u get these things from? rapeCO? super thief?

I keep one of these mini portable ones in my car all the time.

It also acts to power my mini air compressor in case I have a flat.

Have also saved a couple of stranded people from time to time

I got mine from Aussie Disposals which is like a camping store. You should be able to get them from most outdoors places

Those jumperpacks are also a great idea

I keep some tools, 2 spare tyres and a 2ton trolley jack in my van, but that's just because i can
Just get a basic tool kit with a torch, oil and coolant and a jack. I'm thinking of getting a cheap set from supercheap, dont like keeping all my expensive tools in the car.
