None, apart from a few screwdivers and some small sockets plus the mandatory safety kit and warning triangle.

I carry a couple of 'depannage camion' cards which the insurance covers for breakdowns or a lift and tow.

I actually separate bags. I have an axle bag, cooling system bag, engine bag, tire bag, etc. depending on what i'm doing, I can add or subtract bags. makes it quick to grab one bag and do field repair, not having to dig through all my junk to swap a busted axle since it's only a small handful of tools.
