General Boot Tools - One of mine is missing!

[Argonought]

Last time I asked what was missing from my glovebox - most people got it wrong!
(even if they did give sensible answers. )

Have a go on this one

Any idea what's missing at the top right?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Nope, mine is missing as well........

 

[HP]

One of these bits? (from ePER dvd)

 

[Argonought]

One of these bits?

Nope, I got all of those....

I reckon Stu's is the correct answer - Nothing!!

............. or is it?

 

[Dave-G]

Is it not a place for a tyre valve extractor.

It's the bit we chuck away at the PDI

T14086, I thought you of all people would know exactly what it was.
It strikes me the pressure gauge should go here and a pen should go in the glove box.

.......or how about a special lever to help get the front wheels off?

I had quite a workout getting mine off! I think they'd been on for nearly three years (actually I'm hoping they have as that means the FWA is good) and I'd dread to think how someone who hadn't had their daily dose of spinach would have managed with a puncture!

LOL,dodgy area is the boot (and gloveboxes) as tend to stay away from them incase customer reports items missing/stolen! happens often so its a quick visual look at condition of spare wheel & thats it,if any items of value in boot then service sheet is marked as spare wheel not checked!

It strikes me the pressure gauge should go here and a pen should go in the glove box.

Other way around mate

Funny you should bring this up. I was checking the car before a long journey the other week and noticed the only thing I had was the jack! (no jack handle!) and the tool 3 down from the handle in the pic above (don't know what's it's for?).

My spare has never been used. Anyway bought a new handle from the dealer for about £5. A bit annoying though. just as well I never discovered it in on the hard shoulder in the middle of the night!! I'll need to get a flat head screw driver for taking the wheel trims off.

If you think that's a good thing, it would also mean that the front brake pads hadn't been checked for 3 years...

My Punto had a bit like that for a screwdriver, which had a reversible blade - 1 way flat, the other Philips.

@cmc,

That odd tool is to help locate your alloys back on the hub. If I was you I'd also buy the towing hook (you can see it in the top pic) as you never know!

Good point. I suppose it is fairly safe to assume the wheels come off on the annual service. If they get that stuck after just 11 months then I think some form of corrosion inhibitor grease is called for the next time they go on!

@gav,

It's not that either - already part of the toolkit - see fititagain's picture.

If nobody's guessed then I'll take a stab at a tyre thread depth guage. Kind of useful to have by the spare wheel... Mind you not sure the holder is the right shape. Or it could be something to help in changing the bulbs somewhere. Never having been an owner of a Stilo I don't know if the light bulbs are easy or hard to change, and whether you'd need a tool for it...

I reckon its a pen holder!

Naw mate, it's a pencil holder...

Screwdriver

Naw mate, it's a pencil holder...

Of course, how could i have been so stupid to think it was a pen holder, what use is a pen in a boot tool kit.................pencils are the way forward!

 

[Stu DemonD]

Screwdriver

There is already one in there.....

 

[sgh1970]
