Good recommendation, there’s so often so much negativity it’s great to hear about garages like this

Thanks John but what obvious spares should carry? The usual answer is "A Toyota".

Basic tools that can be used for minor repairs. Anything major needs the AA.
Basic spanners, screwdriver with interchangable bits, cable ties, electrical goody bag ( basic test meter, fuses, wire, tape, bulbs, relays). Couple of smallish ratchet straps for extra luggage securing if needed.or anything else. Glass cleaner and cloths. Gloves, towel, wet wipes, bin bag.Jack and brace as normal. Air pressure gauge, small compressor. Sounds. Lot but fits in out of the way ok. I changed the c##p original wipers to the new ones but carry an old one as emergency spare. New are so much better than the Landy ones.

Whenever I am asked what spares do I carry on long distance rallies I reply:
A good working (meaning good service) cell phone, charger, road recovery membership for wherever you are and a credit card that is accepted everywhere. But I also carry what has been listed above along with a quart of oil (for the Moggy not the occupants) and bottles of water to be used by the occupants and the Moggy if needed.

That link to Amazon takes me to relays rather than fuses!. And the relays shown are not what you need. You need ones with a diode across the relay coil, to protect your ecu against voltage spikes . Better to search ebay for “12volt diode relay” as a greater choice on offer. To distinguish, you will see on the diagram etched onto the relay casing, a diode symbol (like an arrow head with a line across the tip), in parallel with the relay coil.

Yep I said fuses but meant relays! Thanks for the added detail. I’ve now found these: Bosch 0332209152 Mini Relay 12V 30A, IP5K4, Operating Temperature from -40 Degree to 100 Degree C, 5 Pin Relay with diode https://amzn.eu/d/g2dymNL
