Hi, I was on the Maintenance for Beginners Course last weekend (Excellent, by the way!) However, I always thought that the correct fix for a broken fan belt was a pair of stockings and I was disappointed to learn that carrying a spare fan belt was actually the correct fix.
There was some talk of emergency kits and what should be in them. I was wondering if people wouldn't mind listing things they think are 'must haves' to carry in the boot. Alan Egan told me that nail varnish is indispensable, although not Hot Pink apparently. I have completely forgotten now what the varnish was for because I wanted to know what the back story to the hot pink was...
On a more serious note, I'd be really grateful if people would list anything they think is indispensable to carry or quick fixes to get home when you find yourself stuck by the side of the road - allegedly you can use Guinness for clutch fluid in an emergency - or did I dream that?
Extra points for any funny stories...

OKAY 😆😆😆. I'm getting scared now!
It don't have to be Hot Pink or Black but it's a nice thought to have when your stuck on the Hard Shoulder.
Well, I guess anyone who needs it can bookmark this. The list, I mean obviously....
Thats a very good idea. Just as a matter of interest later I'll make a few notes as to why I put some things in the list and left some out. Very good idea to have a list there as a starting point for everyone.
OK, this is great information. I can collate it if people want when I have a bit of time and maybe we can keep it somewhere for people like me to refer to.

AA subscription. Invaluable.
You can drink the Guinness while you wait 👍.
Not sure what you would do with a pair of tights 🤔 😀😀
