Hi Picked up my 2020 380 convertible today. It has a red spare in the boot and nothing else. No jack, wheel nut wrench, towing eye. Just the locking nut key. What should it have and where would it be?. I have taken the boot floor out and nothing.
What is the point of a space saver wheel in a F Type convertible? If you need to fit it, what do you do with the punctured wheel? leave it in the bushes and pick it up later in a bigger car?

I am going to get a gunk and pump kit anyway, and leave the wheel at home. however it would have been nice to have a tool kit.

The non Jaguar dealer says he will order what's missing, WHAT actually is missing?

My reckoning is that everything you’ve stated is correct - bar the fact that you should have a towing eye (LH thread).
So when you get a puncture you phone Jag Assistance and the AA come along, fit your spare using their jack, and then give your punctured wheel a lift to your destination or a local garage of your choice.
Good eh 🙄

Thanks Luna, that makes a lot of sense.
The hand book shows a tool kit in the spare wheel. Would have been nice to have a jack for wheel cleaning purposes though.

I always carry my Makita 18V Pump. Also have the foam but if emergency, good for a quick pump to get to a safer place. Obviously useless if full blowout 😄
