Hello everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Anyways, yesterday I was inspecting the engine to see if everything was in good shape and during my inspection, I opened up a lid and behold a little compartment. What is this used for exactly? A storage compartment for tools? Just a thought. Thanks!

I can't post pix but google search: 2000 xj8 under bonnet tool kit

It's the green foam with the little tool kit. Hard to come by.

 

Standard here in Europe... My X300 and X308 came with full factory tool kits...

 

Not us, we only got the tools for changing the tire/whatever was in the styrofoam under the spare. I however was fortunate enough to acquire the little tool kit under the bonnet for my X308.

 

One of my 308's had a toolkit in the space, the other had a tray with spare lightbulbs in. Both are in the garage somewhere after the cars's demise.

 

And all this Time I thought it was to keep a sandwich warm on a road trip

 

It was for a tool and a spare bulb kit -- tried to order them when I bought my 02. Told not available in USA at that time (2002)

 

It is a space with a cover for the tool kit, not supplied in the US, but I got one from England along with a Jag umbrella for the trunk.

My car is balanced now, lol!

They were lying to you. You should have tried other dealers
Got mine for my 01xjr in 2002!

 

I have seen them for sale on EBay. Pretty light on tools, tho. I keep my tire repair kit there.
