10, 12, 14, 17mm sockets and spanners
multi grips
BIG hammer
bag of cable ties
4ltr water
oil
wheel brace
silicone

butain + butain soldering iron
break pads
window winder
the hub it took off my gv to put on my manual hubs (plan is if a manual hub ever breaks i can put this onto either the gv or sierra to still have 4wd)

IMO these items are best left at home.

There is nothing electrical that will leave you stranded somewhere that can't be crimped instead of soldered so no need for a butane soldereing iron.

Brake pads - if you are unlucky enough to have them fall out are easily found again near where they went bang and if they are getting low on material they will still last the journey home.

Window winder - do these fail often???

I'd like to see you break a set of manual freewheel hubs - bolts maybe but I doubt you would break the hub!

Various sized hoses included radiator hose - read matty cmon

I dunoo if i could leave the house without my trusty butane soldering Iron! What if some dodgy wiring caught fire and I needed to replace it

Brake pads ... yeah i suppose they can stay at home. I've been marked ever since I put that pad in wrong and found it later to have a big crack in it!

In theory, youve got no dodgy wiring before you leave

In theory, youve got no dodgy wiring before you leave, all standard suzuki looms are pretty reliable

Hey Royce is this scorpydude that fucknuckle that fella was telling us about on Saturday night???? Or was that someone else???

is this scorpydude that fucknuckle

Here's the basic tools and spares required to keep you car moving

Fuses for eveything on the car (glass for 1.0, blade for later sierras, but remember fused accessories too)
Electrical crimp tool
Selection of terminals inlcuding scotch locks
some sapre wire
Insulating tape
Gaffa tape
Multimeter, or test light, or continuity/voltage tester
10, 12, 14, 17, 19mm spanners
wheel brace
jack (factory is OK but check it has enough height for your tyre size)
pliers (needle nose)
Vice grips (at least one small pair and one large pair
#2 and #3 phillips screwdrivers
a couple of flat blade screwdrivers
Hammer (preferably engineers - ball pein - hammer)
A repair punch and a cold chisel
JB weld
RTV silicone like loctite red
assortment of hose clamps
radiator hoses
Fanbelt
small length of fuel line
cable ties
assortment of spare nuts and bolts
CRC/WD40 or equivalent
1L engine oil
1L gearbox oil
circlip pliers
a spare universal joint
about 5l of water - enough to flush a radiator or refill a cooling system.
a small triangular file (for cleaning damaged threads)

That's pretty much it - beyond that, you're into advanced repair and it's beyond the easy trackside fix. Most repairs will be a leak, a hole in something, something loose or more commonly an electrical problem.

If you have an EFI car, know how to jump the diagnostic plug to deliver flash codes on the check engine light and carry the relevant pages of the FSM that give you those codes with you, it will make repairs/understanding what's wrong super easy.

What you don't need are gadget tools like ratchet spanners, torque wrenches or cordless drills. keep it simple and you'll be fine.

Nar don't match that description! - sorry!

You haven't seen my wiring have you Royce - it's border line arson

My butane soldering iron (without the end on) works well as a blow torch... perfect for those raining nights where you just really want to toast a mashmellow

Brake Pads are definately a good idea. I've been on two trips where the pads have fallen out on the first track - which ends the day for that person immediately, but could have been fixed very easily with spares.

This could be solved by putting some vice grips on the rubber hose to the offending corner could it not. Its not the best but would do for a track side fix.

Im more interested how they manage to fall out in the first place
