Whether you are doing routine maintenance or doing up an old car I have what you need, although I do not normally carry fluids such as oil and screenwash. I carry both imperial and metric sockets and spanners up to 32mm or 1 1/4″ (BSF), and the Whitworth equivalents. Occasionally I get bigger ones but the sockets are usually for 3/4″ or even 1″ Drives. The socket sets are mostly new. To be honest they are fine for domestic use but not designed for heavy duty. A decent set should cost £30+ but, IME people are reluctant to pay it. Most of the old spanners are good names such as Britool, King Dick and Superslim with a smattering of Geodore, Bedford and so on.
I have recently picked up a variety of parts and spares, some generic and some model specific. You may have to dig about a bit to find them though. I have also a couple of cleaning and maintenance sets from new cars.
