Tools for LR3

[ThinkDima]

Hi,
i searched but couldn't find this answered.
do you guys have any recommendations for a tool kit for LR3 to buy in US?

i'm thinking of getting sockets, torx, and anything else of what's needed for a light maintenance on the truck? since it's metric - i don't have as many tools as needed. i'm not looking for anything specific - just enough to take panels off, etc.

is there a tool kit specifically for LR3? or land rovers in general?

Thank you.

Get the IID tool from Gap Diagnostic to clear faults and modify suspension. Invaluable!!

For changing a spare, 24"-30" breaker bar with a 1/2", 6 point, deep/extended, impact socket.
A full size spare, before ANY other tools.

Next, a way to inflate/manage a slow leak or top off the spare if needed with a portable air compressor. Cheap ones work just fine into a 12v socket. Some are built much better than others. Sweet portable model from ARB has twin pistons and a small reserve tank will last a lifetime and comes in a solid case about 22"x16"x10". NOT cheap though...

After those truly basic things, then the IID Tool, non-blue tooth $400, BT model is almost 2x $ for the convenience of BT.
