From memory, and I can't be arsed to go look, a large IKEA bag with a Dayglo jacket, blanket, and two large blanket-like sheets for covering up stuff when I carry a bike, a 5ltr bottle of washer solution, bottle of engine oil, and misc. odds and ends lurking in corners. The large bottle of washer liquid is because my car takes 5 litres in its washer bottle.

Which car?

Car1) A Turbo and a catalytic converter. A spare distributor and ECU.

Car2) An angle grinder, a chainsaw massacre mask, assorted papers from work, a spokey, some deoderant, a torch and assorted spare bulbs/wheel nut caps. And an OBDII code reader.

Car 2 often gets blankets, camping stoves and a few other things thrown in in winter in case I get stuck - that way I can true my wheels for days until found.

Just had a quick look through this thread, & it seems only a couple of you have a spare wheel, jack etc in your boot.

What happens when you have a puncture on the car ? AA/RAC callout ?

OEM can of tyre sealant (no spare included with our car).
Plastic boot liner (to take care of dog stuff).
Often 2 Springer Spaniels.

All the 'usual boot crap' lives in the passenger footwells behind our front seats.

I don't really classify that as IN the boot though. On one car the wheel is under the boot, outside and the jack lives in it's own little compartment in the rear wing. In the other car the wheel is inside the car and the jack is in the rear wing but neither of which are "in the boot" - they're behind panels that define the extremities of the boot.

Well...I'll limit it to the 'boot' as the rest of the van is complete with the kitchen sink, fridge, bed etc etc.

From memory, two large DHB bike bags, one short and one long tow rope, a set of Goclaws (snow chains for mud), two huge levelling ramps, a single front passenger seat, (double currently up front) the removable half of a height adjustable tow bar, two toolboxes (empty) with the tools over the floor, two socket sets (in their boxes) a Lidl trolley jack, two axle stands, wheel bearing grease/rags/brake & clutch cleaner, some old car matts, a folding table, two folding camp chairs, a PortaPotti, (primed and ready to go) a couple of forgotten coats, fire blanket (on the wall) and a short hose pipe (plugs into the water system under the van for bike and horse washing)

Its a mess, its on todays list of 'tidying' but then it has been for two months...most of the tools/lifting equipment should be in the shed...

Trail socks. Lots of them with mud on. Hence why I always seem to be hunting round for clean socks at home.
