- Locking wheel nut key
- Fuses (various)
- lighter
- UK and Plymouth roadmaps
- stereo surround
- couple of bulbs
- little tub of screws/bolts/nuts I've taken out and forgot where they go...............
- Pen
- couple of crap old CDs.
- wind up led torch
- AV cable for ipod/phone
- phone charger

Tools are in the boot in the tool box. Have to have one of them when you run a 21 year old car as a daily!

I used to have the code reader in the glove when I had the mk3.

And in my Saab there was a can holder next to the A/C vent in the glove to keep it nice and cold.  :cool:

The manual for the car
Pen
Paper
A-z for London. Don't know why since I have a twit nav.
Boiled sweets in case I'm stuck in the snow for days and I can go all ray mears and boil them up for sustenance whilst waiting for rescue.

Yes mine is air conditioned too. Though I close the hole as I don't think the a-z appreciates the lower temperature.

A few people have said this...But in my experience they are only good if you have a blister on your heel or a gash big enough to be able to use the 1 massive plaster supplied in them!

The original first aid kit from 1989 is still in its cellophane wrapper in the arm rest on mine. Its immense and has absolutely everything in it!
