Just wondered after my "Breakdown" thread if I'm the only one that carries spares Who said Scorpios werent reliable What spares if any do you carry in the boot?? I'm running a 2.3 Auto Estate at the minute and heres what I carry Alternator Starter Coil pack Spark plug Spark plug lead (Long one) Serpentine belts (long one and a short one in case the aircon fails) EDIS unit Water hoses Water pump Both fuseboxes! (not to replace them, just for the fuses/relays) Camshaft sensor Crankshaft sensor rear hub complete MAF Oxygen sensor Headlight switch I am with Autoaid (£36 a year) for breakdown recovery which includes everything but home start. but I do like to be able to repair things myself if i can (As long as its not raining) I think I was born 40 years too late!

| You're mixing up drive belts with timing belts. Drive belts are for running AC compressors and alternators.

No spares, just a few tools. Official tools: Standard jack/wheel brace/wheel chocks in the spare wheel well. Unofficial tools: 14lb sledgehammer. 3lb lump hammer 36" Gorilla bar (aka crowbar) 12ft heavy duty chain with high security padlock.
