Do you find that the spares you keep for emergencies are never needed?Funnily one spare I have had in all my cars for a long while now is a spare fan/serpentine belt. Needed one once and didn't have one, never again. (Didn't happen to have a wimmins in the car with a stocking or even a pair of tights!)
Weirdly have never needed one again.
Glad you got it sorted.

Earlier this year I had the serpentine belt off me tratter while doing dome maintenance. Belt in good nick but ten years old, and some very slight play in one of the idler pulleys. So I got a new genuine in a JLR bag belt, and kept the old belt as a spare. Also ordered the new pulley, twice, both times the order got cancelled after a month of waiting, because the supplier could not get a genuine one. Still on back order now. So I put an aftermarket pulley on, with the old belt. Always wary that the aftermarket might not last long, so kept the original one in the cubby box, with the tool to do a roadside swap, just in case. Any road up, never needed it yet. And a couple of days ago I found a new genuine still in the box pulley, from a dealer closing down and flogging all remaining stock. Got it at less than half price, and less than an aftermarket item. So I should get the new belt and pulley on at the weekend, with more spares in the cubby which should never get used.
Evening all, best up your game Spielberg, my mate Dave's got it covered
He filmed more of me starting it and putting engine cover back on than he did of me driving it, should have let him drive and me film but he has a bad back and probably couldn't have done it, I had to help him get on his motorbike when he left, young people eh !!

Not always, depends what you call "spares" the jubilee clip I was able to use to refit flexi intercooler pipe just after the turbo came in extremely useful.
Last Christmas up in the Yorkshire Dales. The spare tyre too when I had that accident a few years back seeing as how the idiot who ploughed into me totally ruined the nearside rear.
Who thinks of a spare tyre as a spare nowadays?
And carrying coolant or at least water saves you having to pea in the rad! As I once had to do.
And in another incident the spare water I took with me I was able to use to put an under bonnet fire out with.
So there are three incidents I can think of.
Oh and the spare spark plug I replaced one with that I bruk putting it back in! (Kitcar club trip to France.)
In fact I have learned to take other stuff, like spare nuts and bolts.
But I get what you mean.
One of the funniest thingss I saw was a bloke on a similar kit car trip who broke his clutch cable.
"It's OK " quoth he, "I have a spare." and he did only it was for the wrong car, he managed to fit it but he ended up having to put his knee almost up to his face every time he needed to change gear.

Me. I make sure every car that comes into the family fleet has one, and junk the inflation kit that comes with most cars these days.

I keep a roll of electricians tape in the Landy, and spare bulbs (which probably don't match what I might actually need), spare fuses, a breaker bar and wheel nut socket, and a couple of screw drivers. Beyond that range, I've got me RAC card and a dog n bone.

Me too, except I keep a spare set of tools in the Ninety together with the two workshop manuals that's strapped to the rear of bulkhead. Kit includes spare belts, DVM, sockets, spare FiP solenoid, towing ropes and all the bits to get me out of trouble. To date have only used the breakdown kit for helping others...
Last night helped a friend to repair their over complicated modern day oven. Luckily they did not call out a repairman at excessive cost. I read the manual and realised each of the "oven modes" is supplied by a separate relay. The fan oven relay had failed, whilst the other four oven modes were fully operational so no new oven needed for a good time yet.

Gaffer tape and cable ties, essential items. Oil and coolant. Haynes.
As we travel long distances with a trailer and another car I carry a ton of tools but then I use them over there as well.
And of course my Foxwell, which again I have used over there. Twice. On the wife's Pluriel both times!
And we have been in many places both in the UK, e.g. up in the Dales and in France, where you cannot get a phone signal. We can barely get one outside our own house!
But of course we do carry one or two phones and have recovery, bizarrely with the RAC, how that would work in France I don't know. Long story as to why, but we now have recovery over there for as long as necessary and this is a new thing as previously it only covered us for 90 days which was rubbish, well for us.
