Perhaps because mine is only 5 years old and has been utterly faultless bar one trip out where all the lights failed and it took Kevin Vernon 2 hours to decide the best thing was to bypass the ignition until properly traced ( which A. Hasn't been done, B I couldn't have detected at the roadside) I have complete confidence to go out with three things:
1. Jack and a can of goo as I have no spare
2. Mobile phone
3. Recovery number
Since the last car I decide any serious mechanics on as a Mk3 Escort due to a tribe of company cars I'm passed sorting things out. Since you're totalling around the lanes of Worcestershire and not doing the Peking- Paris rally I wouldn't worry too much. If you're able to fix and breakdown Monday- Friday you could probably get a taxi to the factory and get what you need but since I drop to Shelsley and back yesterday with only the three things above I never gave it another thought. If I break down, pull out the deckchair, take in the view and relax, there's always tomorrow!
