Whats In Your Boot?

Featured Replies

Hello,

Lets check what do you think is essential for such a small space in our fiest's boot.

My boot has:

* Towing rope

* Jump leads

* Set of tools (i think its 40 piece)

* Car snow socks (Just recently bought and will definatelly help me next time when it snow)

* Decicer and Ice/snow scraper

* Cable ties

* Few different types of cloths

* Scissors (probably dont need them)

* Sealer tape (tip from my old mate who is a mechanic)

* Safety vest

* Car fault code reader (havnt used it for this car yet but i know where the plug is)

* Tyre repair kit and inflater (hidden underneath)

* Vacum cleaner (small portable one and i should probably leave in the shed instead)

All stored in a medium sized bag which takes about 1/3 of the whole space :/

Missing things:

* No wheel jack as I have no spare wheel but there is a tyre repair kit instead.

Will need:

* Bulbs (will buy spare ones when one of them fails)

* First aid kit (need to find one cheap)

Let us know whats in your boot.



In mine:

  • Spare wheel
  • Jack
  • Tyre goo & compressor (came with car)
  • Wrench
  • Locking wheel nut
  • Warning triangle
  • Spare bulb kit
  • Hi-vis vest
  • Beam adaptors for Europe
  • Tool kit (probably somewhere in region of 40-50pc)
  • Funnel (I use for screenwash)
  • Ford fuel funnel
  • Deicer
  • Ice scraper
  • Screenwash
  • Tissues
  • ASDA bag for life!

Er, nowt. :rolleyes:

Oh, and the shaving foam - but that's under the floor.

Nothing. Hate the noise of stuff moving when on the move, also on a mpg mission so no extra weight allowed

I bought Multi Grip Car Snow Socks for 50 + pounds and 8 for delivery. I chose not to buy the cheapest ones and I think I made the right choice because quality looks good. To me its a better option than snow chains with roads and amount of snow here in GB.

Crap

ive got a wheel off my dads ford focus that needs a new tyre and thats about it!

Currently...

1. Golf Clubs Bag rain cover

2. 3 sets of xrays- 2 for my leg, 1 for hand

3. de-icer

4. Sleeping bag

all the essentials really...

Hmm,

1) 1 large gritter

2) 1 waterproof jacket

3) 1 pair of wellies

4) 1 notebook

5) 2 bottles of alcohol gel

6) 3) hurling sticks & helmet - actually half the team kit!!

7) 2 pairs of football boots

8) 2 bottles of old water

9) 1 sharps box and a blood pressure machine!

So nothing girly or even useful really!!

  • Funnel (I use for screenwash)

Thanks for this one :) The amout of screenwash I spilled on stuff around (cables) is unbelievable :)

towing eye and fuel funnel, emptied it in prep for new car, maybe tomorrow.

But have tried a full 17" wheel in there, and sits a little high, but upside down, makes a good bucket!

Good to know - always wondered if it would fit in there should I get a puncture. Didn't want the wheel inside the car!

I have a blanket (on my Mother's advice) some jackets and a pair of boots :unsure:

Basically, nothing of any use to anyone!

Oh, also an umbrella.

Several bags for shopping, a book for my work, and a box with some of my cleaning stuff

Absolutely nothing in the boot of either car that wasn't there when I bought them, oh, apart from a decent tyre pressure gauge under the floor in my car.

I have an RAC card in my wallet, that should cover most things.
