I got the spare wheel, spanner, hammer and can of goo. I also got the two metal tools to put the autobox into neutral. Must confess I don’t carry the latter around at present coz I can’t see much point-you could never get sufficiently far under the car by the roadside to make use of them, unless you have arms like an orang-utan. Seems to me it would need to be in the air already to get them/it inserted...
Must admit it’s a bit of a puzzler...

No metal tools came with my car and the same is the position with the other demo car that the dealer has. I’m baffled as is the dealer!!

Krazy Horse told me they didn't come with tools as there was nowhere to put them. That was at the arrival of the first demo car.

HB I would carry the auto-box tweeker in the car, if you have a failure that requires a flat bed recovery truck (and you haven't got the tool) they will potentially drag it up with the winch with the drivetrain & rear wheels locked...not nice to watch

Noted. But how would they reach far enough to insert the ruddy thing/s? I was told that it has to be somewhere slap bang in the middle of the car underneath. Actually thinking about it I guess they would have to Jack up one side of the car a bit then slide underneath...answered my own question there...!

The neutral comment is a surprise. I thought the auto box was the ubiquitous ZF 8 speeder. I had one in my F type and there was no issue putting it into neutral.
Can you not push a plus 4 about in the garage for example?
