W202 Jack n Spanner

[McGreggor]

Hi, I've come to realise my boot seems to be lacking the "toolkit" mentioned in the manual, I cant even find a wheelnut spanner
Unless its hidden away somewhere, I'll need to get a new one, but I'm tempted to just get a torque wrench off ebay and keep that in the boot as ze germans say to tighten to 150NM. Can someone just list what should be in the boot & toolkit?

Thankfully I found all this out putting on my 18"monoblocks at home yesterday, not after a puncture on the side of the road!

Cheers,

a torque wrench in the boot with a decent socket on the end will work a whole lot better than any standard wheelbrace

Other "essential" tools for the boot would be a couple of screwdrivers (crosshead and flathead) and a pair of long nosed pliers. Of course, no matter how big the toolkit you carry there will always be at least one tool you need that's not in there
