Duct tape. My emergency kit is a roll of duct tape and a screw driver.

Led head torch and a magnetic torch are handy.
Circlip pliers, external will do for now.
1/2" multi point spanner and socket for caliper bolts etc. You'll be in a world of ball ache without the last two items especially.

I know that feeling. When everything was back from the paint shop and I was fixing bits to the bulkhead and realised they had sold me the wrong one. I did feel physically sick.
More money, time and effort for you there, but at the end of the day at least you'll know you have a sound gearbox when you've finished.
(I'm trying to look on the positive side for you)

Don't think anyone's mentioned this but you'll need a bloody good vice... then again, we all have one of those or you wouldn't have asked the question in the first place!

Excellent. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to have some space to build a bench and put in my old vices. It's great being able to hold stuff and bash it around without worrying you're going to bend anything or crack a cheap Chinese casting.

Well, I have had a peaceful summer running my Mercedes B class. Never had to get my hands dirty once. Nice cool air conditioning.
From the 1st September I will get me Defender insured and back on the road. Oh how I have missed driving it. No a/c the loud roar of the engine etc. Driving the Merc through the village no one gives a dam. When I drive the Defender heads turn. and everyone gives way.
