All,
I've seen the question posted before with no responce. Went through the cargo compartment of my 2005 Roadster (I'm the 3rd owner). Wanted to ensure that I'd be able to service a slow leak at least. Turned up the following:
(1) Lug wrench.
(1) Jack.
(1) Can Tire Fit w/ hose - coupling.
(1) Compressor. Note: Seem to be missing the power cable to connect to
Cigar Lighter. Part Number ??????
Should there be anything else ? There's an empty rectangular shaped compartment to the right of center, any clue as to what should be stored there ??

 

I am not sure if you are asking what should be or what was in there orginally so I'll begin a list and others can add or subtract.

1. Tire repair kit. (Plug type)
2. Needle nose to remove nails.
3. Pump (If you don't have one you can get one at Wal-Mart).
4. Lug wrench.
5. Multifunction tool.
6. Jack
7. Clean rags
8. Set of metric allen wrenches (Roadster only)
9. Tool kit ( I'd like to see what others would put in this.)

For long trips only

1. Crank case position switch
2. RCM

 

The cable is stored inside the compressor. I keep my multi function tool and the adapter for the anti theft wheel studs here.
The right hand space which is empty is used in Europe for a safety/first aid kit, we do not get it. I store a small fire extinguisher here.

 

Hawk,
Some great ideas there, thanks. I should have specified What was original equipment from Daimler-Chrysler.

 

I also carry a tire plug kit, forget the goop. The pump works fine but a word of caution. I went to plug mine in my cigarette lighter and the guts of the lighter came out. So I have ordered a new one. The pump works great though, I use it to pump up my bike tires.
I'd also suggest a fire ext. or something to put out a fire. We had a fire in the fuse box of our Mercedes this past summer (Fan blower seized and should have blown the fuse, it didn't). I put it out with a can of Sprite. Had I not done that chances were pretty good the car would have been a total loss. As it was it was a 2000$ repair taken care of by my warranty and the car is good as new. The reason I mention this is our car is very similar to the set up in my Mercedes.

 

180,
Sir, many thanks. I'll take the compressor inside to investigate cable. I too stow the multi function tool and anti theft lug key back there.
