do any members carry any tools in the boot as a precautionary measure. spanners, sockets etc & what sizes. 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

A thread I started but a few days ago might be of use, in answering this..>

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=134081.0


Personally I've got the lot, trolley jack, my Halfors 170 piece, toolkit, long breaker bar everything but my axle stands! But I'd very much like to shrink that all down a bit, as per the above thread, as much of it is surplus

Best way to make sure you're covered in an omega is to carry a little card with 'AA' written on it.

Green Flag membership card & a mobile phone 

[Terbs]

Everything bar the kitchen sink in the estate I am using. That includes trolley jack, and axle stands. Problem is, I can barely lift the tool box, the socket sets are almost as heavy, and if I swap to one of the others for distance use, all the aforementioned gets swapped too !!!!!!!!!
I must be totally mad

A crank sensor.

If going away for a couple of days, Halfords 200pc socket set, and various pliers etc.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

With the Omega being so reliable are tools really necessary?

That.


I have a small socket set in the car simply because it was spare and fits in the spare wheel, and the "My Naff Code Reader" connector in the glovebox because I'm only ever going to use it on the car.


Otherwise, it's the car's jack screwed to the back panel and a 600mm breaker bar with a 17mm socket so that I can fit the full-size spare wheel if I ever get a puncture.

Trouble with breakdown services is they are all completely useless.

No idea why a spend all that money every year, as invariably we sort ourselves out when something goes wrong. Faster, easier and not dealing with dickheads.

I have complete faith in my old girl!    and thus much like Nick all I carry is a 600mm breaker bar with a 17mm impact socket and short extension as the supplied wheelbrace is shite! 

Oh and the phone number of Rescuemycar.com!

I have to spend it so that wifey has at least a fighting chance if she breaks down. Otherwise, I would have to go and rescue her, and I'll be too busy....probably.

That's why I have it. But last time she broke down and I wasn't around, she didn't bother, and walked home, after diagnosing the fault herself.
