Thanks for that Malcolm, and everyone else regarding your suggestions. I shall take them all on board, figuratively speaking. To keep things as light as possible I have invested in a small gas powered tyre inflator, which uses the equivalent of sparklets bulbs. I've used a similar gadget during my years of trials riding and they are very good, quick and easy to use, light and take up little space. I've also bought a combined multi screwdriver/torch thingy and I'm currently scouring the garage for my mini grease gun which has gone AWOL. I've got a large picnic basket that I will put on the back seat to carry most of the lighter items - it can be taken out of the car overnight for safe keeping. All the tools and spares will go under the seats, front and/or rear so that very little is on view when unattended apart from a petrol can and some oil/coolant.
