Believe it or not....Duck tape goes a long way. You can temporarily 
repair a leaky water hose (tape it tight and don't skimp) to get you 
to a shop. A set of screw drivers (philips and flat head) and an 
emergency repair belt. The belt is a straight piece of belt with an 
adjustable clamp on it. Perfect for if the belt to your 
alternator/water pump snaps. Just wrap the belt around the pulley, 
tension it up with the bracket and tighten it. No need to loosen the 
alternator and moving it to get the new on eon. When you get 
home/shop, then you can put a permanent one on. And also a very small 
metric socket set. All of the things mentioned are very basic....you 
don't need to carry spare belts, fuel pumps, fuel filters, etc. since 
any shop you have to bring your D too can readily get them themselves 
from any auto parts store. You don't need to carry an auto parts 
store in your car because A. you are not going to perform major 
repairs on the side of the road and B. The shop can get the parts 
with no problem.
