Key spares that will keep Disco from running when it fails:
1. Crank pos sensor
2. Spare ignition coil
3. If you have not replaced all the coolant hoses, you need a repair kit at a minimum and a long ATF rated 5/16 line to replace the plastic lines LR thought were acceptable for coolant lines. Spare hoses are not a bad idea.
4. Inline thermostat mod makes it possible to remove the thermostat without losing all the coolant.
If you want to be extravagant, a MAF can be handy, maybe an xyz switch, an interior fuse box for the heater fan failure (or just bypass it before it fails).
Two guaranteed failures that are not serious but guaranteed to happen and low cost to fix - gasket for power steering pump and brake master cylinder seal kit (for the audi - starts leaking at the joint between reservoir and MC).
#1 most important thing - keep it full of coolant.
Good luck!

I forgot I also have a brand new CPS in my clear plastic tackle kit now as well. After Hurricane Harvey Abran got me up & going with a CPS, the last one I bought was from Auto Zone so I took the dead one back & got a free replacement & slapped it into my emergency kit.
The MAF I carry is removed from it’s housing making it easier to pack/store. I also have a spare plastic T, spark plug wires, ABS sensors, and a tire plug kit.

I think the question needs to be asked slightly different. Let me explain...
Is the OP wanting to temp fix something so he/she can get home or to a garage?
Or, is the OP asking if I am 15 miles deep into an off-roading adventure, what should I have with me?
Obviously the tool kits and spare parts will differ.

a fan clutch tool (the Gearwrench one specifically)
Since you mentioned a U socket......In many/most applications wobble extensions work better and easier to use than universals. Unsure if for the specific app. and a offset adapter may work better on that particular rear head bolt.
