It's probably been mentioned before, but I'm going to dare ask....

What do you reckon I should take with me? I'm not staying over night but should I bring things like spare fuses and stuff - just in case??

Never done the run before so am interested to know what people take?

Here's my list......

Disposable latex gloves
Torch
Waterproofs
Jack & wheel brace
Jump leads
Crosshead & flatblade screwdrivers (standard length & stubby)
Extra long flat blade screwdriver (for the bottom hose jubilee clip)
Molegrips
Wirecutters
Pliers (long nose & standard)
Selection of imperial spanners
Socket ratchet and one size fits Universal Socket (brilliant for saving space in a mini)
Wire crimping tool and small selection of connectors/terminals
Selection of allen Keys
Pen knife
Roll of insulation tape
Roll of duct tape
WD40
2 litres of ready diluted antifreeze/coolant
1 litre of 20/50w oil
Tube of silicon instant gasket stuff
Length of 10a insulated electrical wire
Length of braided cable
Selction of cable ties
Selection of jubilee clips
Small selection of bulbs
Spare fuses
Spare wheel nut
Spare spark plug
Spare fluted bypass hose
Spare fan belt
Spare no.1 HT lead (the longest one)
Spare radiator cap (ever since I topped up the rad before driving off with it still sitting on the rocker cover )

& I think that's it........ sounds like a long list but doesn't actually take up too much room
