Hi guy, I just got my first car on the weekend and I was wondering what documents I should be keeping in there.

I was also wondering about first aid kits and blankets. What do you guys keep in your car safety wise.
 
I was going to buy the Haynes manual for the car too, I'm not intending to do any servicing on it, but I thought it would be useful, just in case.

I didn't think you were supposed to keep the V5 in there incase the car got stollen. Got my cover note and my plastic photo licence.
 
Looks like I'm popping to halfords after work then. I have full AA cover which means I would be using that for changing wheels and lights bulbd (I assume the cover would do that too).

Yer would expect the AA cover does Lou, though you should be able to do both those yourself and save the hassle (and costs) of makeing a claim and call :p

I'm a "typical" girl though, I don't want to get my hands dirty but if it happened in the middle of the night I would rather get out and change it myself than wait around for an hour for the yellow men to turn up.

Going to look for a guide on how to change a wheel and a bulb incase I ever need too :/

It's kinda cute in a sympathetic puppy eyes way. I believe the Haynes manuals detail how to change wheels/bulbs and all of those sorts of things, and they will be writen directly for your car. May want to buy a torch as well if it's dark.

I was going to pick one of them up, I am attemping to install a cd multichanger in the next couple of weeks so I'll know where everything is.

I'm very good at the puppy dog eyes, working them on my boss at the moment to get a parking space at the car park at work instead of the one 5 minutes away.
