Title: Space saver tray.
Post by: Gene Hunt on November 10, 2010, 06:31:41 pm
Should there be a screw driver & a couple of spaners in there with tool for removing the nut covers & towing eye etc please as i think mine are missing due to a couple of empty slots. :rolleye:

I have a screw driver, tow eye, jack, wheel brace, lock nut and the little pull to remove the caps from the wheel bolts. I havnt noticed a spanner (it could be there).

The big slots are for storing the removable tow bar :happy2:

Have a lool in your manual. It'll tell you everything you need to find in the spare wheel area. You need a wire tool to remove wheel bolt covers. A locking nut key adaptor. A short wheel brace to remove the bolts. A screwdriver for removing the frong fog light covers. At least one (can't remember if there's two) towing eye. Probably forgotten something.

I think the screw driver was dropped from MY06 onwards (or is it the spanner thats was dropped?).  I have the screwdriver, the end of the handle is designed to allow you to screw the wheel bolts out / in (tightening is with the wheel brace obviously).  But, its a flat bladed screwdriver, no use for removing the phillips screw holding the front tow eye cover in ... as I discovered at the bottom of an icy slope when a tractor was going to tow me up!

The screwdriver shoukd be reversible - you pull out the metal bit from the handle, swap it round and slot it back it. Try it.
