Hello, Could somebody please take a picture or list what is in the tool kit that is attatched to the inside of the boot lid, as mine is pretty much empty and i would like to replace all of the tools that have been lost over the years. All that is in mine are some adjustable grips and about two spanners.

Thanks chris :D

The z shaped allen key is to manually close the electric sunroof.

Or to manually lock the hood flap on a convertible.

The touring tools are in the left hand boot locker.
The jack and wheelbrace are clamped together onto the wheel arch with the thumbscrew and the rest of the tool are in a tool roll. There's been one going round and round on ebay lately, so have a lok there.

Correct, but only on early mocels I think. If the door card has a little blanking plug where the manual winder would normally be, then you can use the plastic adaptor to wind the windows if the electrics fail.

Not much use on cars without the blanking plug though :lol:

5 serises of this age had a much wider tool kit, may be you have got one of them by accident? Probably quite a good upgrade if I get all sad an nerdy, does it actually have more tools in it?

Yeah, actually I do have place for light bulbs... not sure about place for a cloth, where would the cloth go ?

Cause most of my tools are missing, and i'm on a quest to get a full kit
