I carry a cloth to wipe the screen and an AA card in my wallet when solo but do have basic tools in caravan when it's attached :y
-
Some of this stuff is in my car simply because I have it. Apart from the wheel changing equipment the tools are surplus to other requirements, so it makes sense to have them in the car. I didn't carry them in any of the Capris or other simple cars that I could fix at the side of the road, and have only used them on other cars/problems. The only time the Omega broke-down my AA card was of more use than tools. Carrying things like a spare crank sensor or HBV seems paranoid when they're both recently new. The same applies to drive belts and tensioners; if I had worries about any of them I'd fit new and forget about them.
A first-aid kit is a sensible precaution.
The fire extinguisher is to save the contents of the car rather than the car itself.

A bag of mint imperials. :y
