Hey all,

Just picked up my 1st Land Rover, a1986 90 2.5 NA diesel, yesterday. Having fun sorting out random issues. So far nothing really crazy. Question of the day: I want to put together a basic tool roll to keep in her. Suggestions on contents? Tools and spares for "likely to fail" items.

Keep a spare engine in the back -- a 200tdi for preference

I don't think this stuff will fit into a tool roll, maybe a trailer, but thanks for the tips. And, Scotsman, condoms are valuable survival gear in hundreds of situations. Not just those involving livestock.

I actually carry a trolley jack round with me... can't be dealing with ****y little bottle jacks. That, a 27mm socket, a big ****-off breaker bar, some screwdrivers, some open ended spanners, a little hammer, a bigger hammer, some WD-40, some engine oil, a 5l container of ready-mixed water/antifreeze, some chocks of wood. Also have an AA card with me in case I can't fix it with all that lot.

A roll of Gaffer tape and a can of WD-40 is all you'll ever need in life:

If it moves and it shouldn't use the Gaffer tape, if it doesn't move and it should...

I suppose gaffer tape would make pretty **** trap roll, the sticky side would pull your bum hairs and the grey side would be like that cheap tracing paper they put in pub toilets!
