Tommo:
lets not forget the hub nut box spanner

richo:
disposable gloves are handy

burgerman:
 The 9/16th special long socket for prop nuts, Not essential but VERY good to use and you will save money on the plasters also  :lol:

Dixie:
Thanks for the growing list.

Picked up a 64pc Sealey socket set (AK694) for £79 which seems to be a good buy. Never used sealey before so hope it not a lot of wasted money.

Judging by the list above, looks like I need a few more bits.  :D

Thanks again.

Devon-Rover:
Well i consider myself an amateur mechanic and for most jobs on the landy i wouldn't be without.

Socket set (Well it's my dad's Elora one) 1/2 drive, sizes something like 6 mill to 35 mill and equivalent AF and Whitworth sizes.
Spanners (mostly two of) sizes 4 - 32, And the most common Imperial's.
A few various size adjustables
driver set (Flat / Phillips / Torx / Posi )
Trolley jack.
Axle stands.
Torque wrench.
Hub spanner.
Hex key set.
Feeler gauge (metric / Imperial)
Medium and BIG hammer.
Grease gun.
Multimeter.

most other things start getting a little specalised so tools you need for those are probably better brought when you actually need then so spreading the cost. Or just borrowing from someone nearby who has them.
