Richard Hamilton Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't know about a groundsheet, but there should be a large plastic bag (to put a wheel in when you have a puncture). Part number 996.361.521.00 @ £2.35 inc VAT from Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUK Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Locking Wheel nut adaptor? also my spare wheel was secured by a 15mm nut (I think originally it should have been a wing nut?) I now carry a 15mm spanner in the kit too! glad i spotted this before I got a puncture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbox Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I shall check the groundsheet, seems like it may have a @Araf logo instead of a Porsche one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefocke Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I carry an old shower curtain to kneel on when changing a tire. An old towel to clean the worst off my hands after the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxtaboy Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I also carry a tire plug kit, a compact air compressor, my old polyrib engine belt (as an emergency spare), and a spare ignition switch in the front trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I carry my phone which has the number of my insurers preferred breakdown recovery folks. I have a spare wheel which I keep meaning to remove as it is not likely to be used. The one puncture I had I resolved with a can of tyre goo. Hope never to have another, but I've got another can ?

In the 986, Porsche stated that the spare tire is actually an integral part of the crash protection in severe frontal impacts. I leave it there just in case. http://a.renn-list.com/Keep-the-spare-tire-in-for-safety-reasons_10445530.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I have a pair of garden style gloves in the front and a warning triangle in the spare wheel cover. Also have an old car mat in the boot in case you ever need to crawl under or if the worst comes to the worst and you are stuck on muddy ground you can stick it under the wheel. Also have one of those Velcro backed pouches which normally carries 1L oil pinched from old company cars. Got some tape, spare fuses and a screw driver with detachable bits in there. Also have a first aid kit wedged to the right and behind the spare wheel again pinched from company cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 In the event of a severe frontal impact, I'm going to need more than a natty space saver. But every little helps as the say at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the bits I refer to are all part of a standard "kit" bag from Lex or Leaseplan. There's a few other bits in there like a high viz, space blanket, mechanical torch and in some old ones a camera, ice scraper, can of de-icer, standard off the shelf bulb kit (some which I'm sure would never fit the car) and probably a few bits I forget.

Mr96er Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Nobody gonna own up to reading the Tesco price ticket?

I have been reliably informed that Tesco haven't used those price integrity labels for at least 6 years, but they would have used 'ass' rather than 'assorted' to make a description fit the label.

cj225 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I used to buy the Animals of Farthing Wood magazine with my pocket money/parent begging skills when I was very young. It used to show as "Animal Fart" on the receipt. No jokes. I think most of them must be intention-accidental by the bods who do all the inventory management.
