Not a lot, some cable ties, a 10, 13, 17 and 19mm spanner and some spare fuses.

Anything more serious the AA card comes out

AA man can take the wheel off, but he can't without the locking thing i'm guessing

Sounds familiar. Allen keys, spanners and a stanley knife seemed to do most things. Plus sundries of course, cable ties and gaffer tape. I was saved by a length of welding wire once.

My leon has some safety stuff and a halfords motorist tool kit basically a various simple bits in a nice small wallet. Kit car has just a fire extinguisher and RAC card but once the boot box is done and for the longer journeys il get a selection of pipe clips, cable ties, two spanners sets as what use is only one size for say a suspension bolt and a small ratchet set possibly a breaker bar and sockets for a track day.

Jack, tyre weld, latex gloves so I don't get mucky, plus a Lidl toolkit, which for £15 has just about everything I might need and not too expensive to worry about getting nicked.

Small mole grip
Small adjustable spanner
Selection of ring+C ended spanners - 8mm, 10mm, 11mm, 13mm
Spark plug socket
Hex key tool
A couple of stumpy screwdrivers
Small socket set
A few cable ties
Black insulating tape
Can of Tyreweld
Spare fuses
Spare bulbs
AutoAid membership number and phone number

Most of these fit in the lowest section of my boot, made to maximise use of space in the boot area by dropping down behind the diff. In the main part I have the socket set and a small wallet thingy leaving a reasonable amount of room for other stuff if necessary - mostly a kagoule and overtrousers.
