"BTW, does anyone have experience of the butane powered soldering irons?"
I have 3 of them, all different Stuart - one is an Iroda solder pro 70 - do yourself a favour and get a 3mm angled or chisel tip to suit, the supplied 1mm conical isn't much use for automotive type work . They are generally excellent, rapid to warm up and fairly adjustable to suit the job in hand.
I always carry one in the 7 with a little hank of multicore tin/lead solder got me (and others!) out of the odd tricky spot in the past.
