Try www.thexmod.com that's where I got mine, they were about £25 each including delivery; although I don't remember seeing anymore last time I was on there but they might have new stock.

Permanently in Disco:
1/2 inch breaker bar & 27mm socket. Hi-Vis jacket, several bungee's, ratchet strap, basic tools, anti-freeze, oil, water, power steering fluid, spare bulbs, fuse's, small air compressor, jump lead's, cable tie's, insulation tape, scissor's/knife, torch, maps & road atlas, wheel chock, jack, 2 person survival bag and a blanket ... oh and milk, sugar & ketchup! Need to add a decent tow rope/shackles to this lot then I'll be happy.
Thing's I change around are extra clothes/shoe's for myself, Mrs. & the kids, so that they don't get damp.
The Mrs. thinks why bother when we've got AA recovery:doh:

Something, anything and everything !!!!
Generally always carry a basic toolkit, sockets, spanners, stanley knife etc, cable ties, lump hammer, spade, shackles, bridle, short lifting strop and decent towrope. Blanket, couple of wood blocks, zipup polybag for wellies, extra coat, hat gloves, spare workgloves, first aid kit, small fire extinguisher, cb and mobile phone. I also include the standard 27mm wheel nut, alongside a dual size socket for other 'normal' car wheels and extending bar (surprisingly good for a cheap thing!) I carry very few spares, serpentine belt (old one but good enough to replace a snapped one, even if it squeaks, rubber donut for rear prop, various nuts and bolts, a UJ, UJ nut socket, Hubnut spanner, and various other small bits, nuts, bolts, washers, bulbs, wiring and crimp connectors, insulation tape etc.
I also mostly carry a gallon of fresh drinking water, a can of oil, Duct tape, WD40, small bottle of brake/clutch fluid and anything else I chuck in the box, like a torch, small tie-downs, small tie-ropes/straps etc. Puncture repair kit, small compressor, ball of string (You wouldn't believe how often i've needed this) England flag, extra gloves, wipes, cloths, a towel ...
When off-roading or laning with or without a group I add a Hi-Lift, more ropes/strops/shackles and a chain set made up with hooks to turn the Hi-Lift into a winch .. can't afford a decent Tirfor so this'll do ... I also add extra wood chocks/a small plank, a couple of rebars and a Marquee tent peg (about 3' long with a good head on it) to use as a ground anchor if necessary, small bow-saw and hand-axe (though that's lent to a mate and not replaced yet!). I often also take a complete change of clothes and shoes/boots and some means of cooking, small gas stove, pan & kettle and tea/coffee makings, cans of soup, bacon, buttered bread/rolls etc .. and a small pop-up tent and sleeping bag! ...
It's amazing how often the lists change though ... lend someone a thing and forget to replace it, swap something for something else and find you need it. The lists above are (I think) pretty basic really ...
I also always carry a Swiss Army penknife with me .... absolutely invaluable ...

A standard jack will need screwed out to reach the axle/chassis, if you could put it on a block of wood to save screwing the jack out it will make the whole thing a bit more stable. Also on soft ground a block/short piece of scaffholding board will stop the jack from sinking.

i use it because i only carry a bottle jack which has a small base, put it on even slightly soft ground and it'll sink lol, plus the block of wood gives it a bit more stabilty
does also mean i don't have to pump the jack up as far lol so is quickerforgot to mention the first aid kit i carry as well, you never know when hubs might fancy trying to chop the other hand off with a chainsaw

Sorry for the delay in posting the pics, time just seems to get away from me so often recently. Anyway here you go.....
Interesting thread!
With regards to the Anderson Plugs, is there sole purpose for jump starting the battery or are they also used for other applications? Just interested as there is an Anderson Socket on the rear of my 90 and I near really knew what it was for, I also have one of those HELLA type sockets mounted on the rear body work, does anyone know what these are used for?

They can also be used as a 12v power source external to the vehicle ... compressor for tyres or jacks, external lighting, all sorts of stuff, especially useful for green-laners and campers when they're miles from anywhere.
