Had the top radiator hose on the Disco go on me yesterday about 80 miles from home. Tried to fix it with tape (failed miserably) so we limped to the mother in laws to try and find some better fix.

While we were looking for stuff to try I saw one of their pushbikes and had a brainwave.

Got one of their repair kits out and treated the split like a puncture, putting the patch on and wrapping duck tape round it.

Worked a treat and got home with no loss of coolant at all :)

Puncture kit takes up very little space and could get you out of a pickle one day. I will certainly carry one from now on!
