    Is their any need to keep the jack in the boot of the car since its on runflats.

    Just thought I'd ask incase I take it out and then find that suddenly in the middle of nowhere there is an urgent need for it

    People with the puncture goo are recommended to jack the car up prior to inflating etc I believe - I never used to keep mine in the car as on the S it takes up valuable boot space.

    So I just need to take the wheel key out of the tool kit and then free up valuable boot space.
