What would you include in a basic tool kit for a 951 that sees weekend cruising and an occasional overnight trip? Like specific size wrenches, sockets and the one tool you wouldn't go anywhere without for typical breakdowns that occur with these vehicles.

I'd like to keep a small tool box handy for trips as opposed to sorting through everything and putting them back when we get home.

10 and 13 mm sockets in various formats are about as typical as you can get on these cars.

Two words: Tow hook.....

DME relay
duct tape
continuity tester
air pressure gauge
5 & 6 mm allen sockets
spare headgasket


ok, perhaps just leave the headgasket at home, but good to have!

Mongoose said it for me. I'll add at least a grand, and for people like me, the number of my builder in my speed dial.

lol! If you have the head gasket I assume you'd also need the tools to install it.

I like your list with the addition of the various 10 and 13mm sockets and wrenches. A tow hooks is also not a bad idea.

IIRC, 5MM, 6MM and 8MM socket as well. Easier to tighten hose clamps than with a screw driver.
Duct tape and zip ties (yes, ive used those to fix coolant a coolant leak).

Your wallet.

theres a good one, or at least your bank card. Maybe a headgasket or two

a spare 951 on a trailer behind the one you're driving?

TPS, DME relay, elec tape, spare fuses - one of each; I like to carry the little Craftsman folding tool kit. It's very easy to take anywhere - sockets on one side, 3/8", 1/4" drive sockets, phillips and straight screwdriver, and a couple of basic wrenches - add 10 and 13mm ratchet wrenches and the P-car kit.

... A SnapOn dealer in tow would provide total reasurance to boot

On longer trips I've started bringing along a Balance Shaft sprocket holder tool (think h2O pump) and flywheel lock - stuff ordinary mechanics might not have. Plus spare belts (they're cheap).
