Anyone have a pic of the full kit so I know what I'm looking to buy off of eBay? Many thanks for any help for this newbie.

Whether the sunroof allen key is missing or no depends, of course, on whether you have an electric sunroof!

Be careful when buying off e bay cos recently some guy was selling screwdrivers and some fools were bidding over £8. The dealer sells them for £3.34!!

There was one guy selling a plastic nut affair that fits in the bit in front of the big spanner. Said it was rare and asking a BIN price of about £15. Someone bought it!! :screwy:

With regards to eBay prices i've sold quite a few tools on the there. How about £6 for a 8/10mm spanner (£2 from the dealer) and a stunning £11 for the pin (about £3 I believe from the dealers)!!
