Missing part next to Mobility pump?
I have a 'space'/cutaway in the polystyrene next to the mobility pump. Anyone know if there should be something there (UK spec) ?
Cheers

That's where you store a small bottle of vodka to take the edge off when you find the mobility goo is useless for repairing that flat. It is recommended you drink it while waiting for the flatbed tow truck to arrive.

I use it to keep my bread warm on the way home from the store, of course without the foam wedge there

I took out all that Shaped Foam and lay a sweatshirt down. I use the space for other items that fit and that I dont want cluttering up my trunk. But that's a goood idea too put a little something in there, just in case I do get a flat...lol!

I beleive we have lifetime towing for flat tire with our M5's...
