Mine doesn't have one and I want to order one but can't locate. Any ideas where I can get one and what is it? jack, wrench, cover cap remover and bag?

one of these
or one of these... but won't fit in the bag!
and one of these
depending what wheels you have, centre cap should just knock out (use the grip end of the extendable brace)
and i can supply a nice little bag to put them in...... smile

Thanks Phil, I have estoril wheels and need one of those keys to get the cover off. Did a search and there is one on ebay for £75! I was hoping to find an original set but Douglas valley don't have any and can't see it available anywhere. Do you make up the bags?

Definitely not hidden in the car somewhere? Doesn't look like "rocket science" to make one of those?

I believe it's not uncommon to replace those weird screws with some nice neat button heads then use a normal Allen key scratchchin

I have a spare Esterols key. I’ve sent you a message about gear surround.

Happy to do a swap with the gear lever surround. Not sure how you get it off though, will have a look tonight

I fitted one of these and hope removal is easier than fitment, it should be. The alloy surround you see is duplicated underneath the 'hole', the gaitor material is trapped/sandwiched between these two metal pieces and will separate as you undo the allen bolts. The gaitor will become loose and the under piece can be angled out. Your gator will possibly have holes therein because of the allen bolts, and it will need fixing back somehow. HTH.
