Car Tools and Spares
It is impossible to list all equipment for all situations and each make and model of vehicle. Before driving long distances be aware of your vehicles condition and age as this will greatly influence the need to carry certain items. Before you commence your journey get advice or a vehicle inspection from your local car dealer or your local automobile organisation. Your local automobile organisation will also suggest what spares to carry and other precautions to be taken
