Winter prep kit

[PabloGTI]

I do alot of motorway miles, and the thought of breaking down (even in a car thus far 100% reliable) dont appeal, especially if unprepared.

So Im gonna fll my boot with useful stuff, please fel free to add or comment.

1-Choccy bars
2-Cartons of pop
3-Warning triangle
4-Spare wheel (Already there, check pressure and that brace and jack are present)
5-First aid kit
6-An off-cut of carpet (To sit/ kneel on if changing a wheel - must be small enough tofit under the golf boot carpet.)
7-A few black bin bags (to save getting a wet arse if sitting on an embankment)
8-Torch (One that can be stood up on end to use as a lantern)
9-Cheapo mobile phone with car charger and £10credit (I will have forgotten min when I REALLY need it)
10-Flourecent vest
11-Disposable latex gloves
12-Rags / Wipes
13-Wet wipes
14-tow rope
15-Jump leads
16-Foot pump
17-Spare petrol cash (£40)
18-More choccy bars. (I`ve already eaten the first lot)
19-Bottle of Diluted screen wash (I have the winter kit with the warning light, still has lots left in when the light comes on)

i'd add a bottle of diluted screenwash to that as you'll run out when you need it most

I recently got stranded on the M6 from 5 at night until 11:30 (due to an accident), many of those items would have been invaluable! Good plan!!

4. Ensure locking wheel nut adapter is in the boot (quite a few leave in the house/garage)
8. Try and get a wind-up one that doesn't need a battery as inevitably when you come to use it the battery has gone flat!

A warm set of wellies.
A warm sheet to keep warm in.

I'm sure Clarkson did something similar when testing the 4wd X type estate....and here it is

I to think this is a good idea, As I to live on the A/b roads around the north-east of england, I have 99% of all that in my boot all year due to job.
+ a few bulbs , + fuses , + road map (fingers crossed gps tom tom from santa in 4 weeks) can get rid of road map
good job i got a diesel to help pull all this extra weight  24/7
+ Helps the back end look abit lower  doing this its cheaper that fitting a lowering kit
