I have observed many forum posts on several boards and compiled lists of suggested tools, materials, and spare parts to possess in the back-end of a brick. My efforts of sorting and investigating have resulted in a list posted to PasteBin for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

The intention is to generate a comprehensive list for most owners to perform most tasks other than servicing critical engine, transmission or suspension complications/failures. Everything necessary for getting back on the road is hopefully included.

If everyone shows interest in “perfecting” this list, it would be a great addition to the BrickBoard FAQ in response to users asking; "what kinds of tools/etc… are beneficial to have in my car?"

The tools section may need some refining and I think it would be beneficial to have every size listed for the specific tools needed. The spare parts category is a little wonky, seeing that I have yet to own a Volvo for any extended period. I have confidence the forum can modify the items from the various categories that would be nice to stay in the vehicle.

Be forewarned, the intention of the listed materials is to reside in the vehicle’s boot/trunk until needed.

P.S. I have this list in Microsoft Excel *.xlsx if that would be easier to have posted somewhere.


What do you guys think?
