My 1985 LR 90 is developing a small collection of tools under the passenger seat next to the battery. Including...

Tow rope
13mm spanner
small screwdriver for adjusting carb mixture
large socket wrench with socket for wheel nuts
small spanner for emergency battery disconnecting
Small socket set (xmas present I'll never use unless desperate)
oily rag
Oil.

I think at some point, I'll make a full kit of stuff and wedge it in there as it rattles around at the moment.

No tools kept under my passenger seat, the large battery takes most of the space. I keep a box of assorted tools in the back.

Socket set, breaker bar, rubber mallet (wheels have a habit of sticking to the hubs), and jack. Normally a flat head screwdriver, but it's not there currently, and a spare fuel filter.

Definitely. The standard jack is useless.

I have a full size trolley jack strapped down on mine.

Which is stupid. But it does work.

I found the standard jack quite good, the replacement rear crossmember not so good, the jack tube on it bent instead of lifting the Defender up!

Decent bottle jack is not as easy as it seems. You need something which is quite low for when the tyre is flat but also lifts quite high.
Original spec jack is quite expensive new.
