Jack

I'm too lazy to go look and plus there is a computer in the boot among other odds and ends, so I'll ask here... do I have a jack somewhere in there where the battery is? I think I do, but Kyle doesn't think so. I may be dreaming but I coulda sworn I saw one once!

Yep, it should be in the left corner of the boot, little black bag that has the lug wrench and jack in it, and a couple stretchy pieces with clips on the end that hold it in place in that corner.

:lol: Well I'm glad they did (or rather, one of these days, I'll be glad they did).

Next question - GP owners - do you have one? Kyle has his sub mounted above the hidy hole and doesn't know if he has a jack either.

Well, who's the idiot who mounted his sub in front of his jack access? :roll:

... oh, wait. That was me. :oops: :lol:

I believe its a DOT requirement of some sort that they have to provide a jack, regardless of a spare, etc.

Supposed to be there... under the boot floor covering.

Though I know a number of people with 1st Gens that didn't get the tool kits and jacks with their new Minis either. A bit inconsistent at the factory?
