Title: What's missing from the spare tyre tool kit?
Post by: jsklair on December 11, 2011, 04:07:00 pm: It seems that something is missing from my tool kit in the boot, but I don't know what.

If you look at the photo below, you can see an empty section in the left half.

Any idea what's missing???

The big bit thats missing is the removable towbar thats optional. Not sure about the rest off the top of my head.

Post by: jsklair on December 11, 2011, 04:20:03 pm: I didn't think to check in the manual, I didn't realise the info was there.

I'm pretty sure that was complete when I bought the car.

One of the garages I have taken it too might have stole it.

But, no evidence, and I've taken it to a few different places...

Thanks for your help.

Post by: 182_blue on December 11, 2011, 08:45:24 pm: It looks like my edition 30 one did, do remember these are generic inserts so are built to take different items that your car wouldn't necessarily have come with.
