What spares to carry ?

Bearing in mind I'm used to touring europe etc in a 40 year old car whcih means I tend to carry a full tool kit and lots of spares ....

so with the CSL, are there any specific spares I should carry in the car ? Not always just the ones I can fit myself, but those that are useful if you get towed to the nearest garage etc and so you don't have to wait for parts to arrive.

I've read about the salmon relay ... although not sure what part number it is or what it does. Anything else worth carrying , eg fan belt, fuses, bulbs ?

For touring, think I'd like to carry either a space saver ( already found details of what to order ) or maybe one of these kits ( not sure if they work ) :

Also a small tool kit incl pliers & wheel brace & scissor jack.
