Here's a question: poking around my new 2005 MCSa I opened the little cubby in the left back cargo area and ...huh!...nothing in there! then why is there a cubby? Went and looked in my 2003 MCS and there's a tool pouch. Did MINI discontinue that fun little feature or did they neglect to put one in?

They moved it!

It's down by the battery now.

 

The stuff that used to be in the pouch is now mounted in a styrofoam tray that lives next to the battery in the boot.

I found that out at the dealer just last week.

Edit: Darnit! GBMINI beat me to it...

 

whoa! you guys are good! so now I just have a bonus cubby space! Thanks!

 

"Tool bag missing in my 2005?"


did you try looking in the drivers seat....... sorry you left yourself wide open on that one?

 

I wrote less words

 

Mine isn't in any cubby or under the mat by the battery. Mine is in a pouch on top of the mat, connected on both ends to some hooks. Get's in the way of stuff in my trunk.

 

That's where my jack is, but the other tools are by the battery ...

 

Ah. Maybe that's it. Honestly, I haven't opened it. I already have all the tools I need in my garage, and I don't foresee myself working in my engine bay at the side of the road.

 

What's in that little tool caddy? I'll tell you.

A grenade pin for pulling off lug covers.
A manual crank for closing the sunroof if power fails.
Your tow hook.
A screw driver with flat & phillips heads
A wrench

Did I forget anything?

What's really cool is that if you get the locking lug bolts from the dealership, there's a pre-formed slot in the caddy for the lug key.
