Real Tool Kit's for a X300?
I read somewhere recently that only the British sold cars we given a real tool kit with wrenches / sockets ect.? And a umbrella rack in the boot?
Is this correct? How do you search on the forum to find parts you want for your car? I have a 1997 XJ6 V.P left hand drive, the American jag...
thanks for any help....

Seems to be different for each market. In Australia the Sovereign came with the tool kit as standard, stowed in the compartment Doug mentioned. The Sport model didn't. I wonder why they bothered to fit the compartment and then leave it empty on some models! Having said that, the compartment is handy for holding a tool roll I've made up, but it would be nice to have an original kit.

They are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Here's a picture of what you are missing:
This one is listed on ebay UK for £140 ($233) and it's not in good condition.
An umbrella is secured with two straps to the luggage compartment lid. Here is one in my XK8 Coupe but I transferred these straps from my X300 to X308 and an earlier XK8 before they were fitted into this one.
Unfortunately there is no place to fit them in my current XK. They might have improved the car but the weather certainly hasn't improved!

My Sovereign came with the toolkit, and my donor Sovereign also has one, both complete. I didn't realise that they were scarce, but either way, I have one up for grabs if anyone is really interested in same. Don't know what postage would be from Ireland, but let me know if you're interested. Anyone got any idea of cost, as opposed to the ebay price? I would consider any reasonable offer from any board member.

Wow! Another Irish Sovereign owner? That makes two of us! Whereabouts are you based? I'm in Kenmare myself.
As for the umbrella holder, I never heard of it before, although you'd think it might be standard in all cars for the Irish market, with maybe the option of an inflatable boat!

I thought the tool box was almost impossible to find these days but just got lucky on Ebay here in Australia. My 95 XJ6 must of either not came with one or was removed by a previous owner. I picked it up for $150 aud.
I didn't think the X300 used the glass fuses, Can anyone comment and tell me if they have been added unnecessarily
