I tend to keep a variety of gaskets, filters, washers etc here - mostly V6 and TD, as that what I have, though have a few other odds and ends.

Consumables - latex gloves, bulk packs of kitchen roll from Costco, carb cleaner (Wynns is good, and cheap if you have Halfords Trade card), wd40 and Plusgas, diesel magic and forte injector cleaners etc, contact cleaner, air duster, copperslip, LM grease, gallons of oil, gallons of coolant (MV6 needs it ;D), screenwash etc.

Tools, I tend to use one of those 150pc Halfords socket sets (now £190 :o) and a few screwdrivers/wrenches/pliers.  I also have a few Clarke Pro socket rails, their nice 72 teeth rachets, Halfords rachet spanner set, ball joint removers, camlock kits, couple of specialist sockets such as injector socket and the 36mm tractor oil filter one.  Also got some air tools as well. Oh, I did have a rather great hammer - Sammy Sledge - but thats gone missing  :'(
