OK, I've managed to squish it down beside the CD changer, and the cross on the packet is just showing. Doesn't appeal at all to my obsessive tendencies - very cheap-looking all over.

I've found the invoice and my eyes have stopped watering... it cost NZ$161. That's about US$93, or your 58.00 pounds Learoy.

Horribly overpriced, but worse is to come - I've ordered the complete tool kit which will cost me around NZ$300. That doesn't include the jack or warning triangle, but just a meagre collection of tyre changing tools and a screwdriver or two wrapped up in a plastic bag.

The only advantage I can see to the whole expensive exercise is to be able to lift the boot/trunk, and proudly say: "See, all complete - and MB genuine too!"

That'll go down a treat with the cat.
