I got my 99' DI used and am not able to locate the tire iron. Where exactly are they placed? Either I'm blind or the previous owner held on to it. Thanks.   Curt Perlman (Cnote) Member Username: Cnote Post Number: 41 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 06, 2004 - 01:58 am:    under the rear seat in a black bag   Pugsly (Pugsly) Senior Member Username: Pugsly Post Number: 324 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, March 06, 2004 - 04:44 am:    If you cannot find it, buy a socket and a breaker bar - the tire irons are made of notoriously soft metal and will bend before the lug nuts break loose if the garage has overtightened your lug nuts (which almost all do).   Matthew A.

Or the damn thing doesn't even fit...   Andy Maier (Newman) Senior Member Username: Newman Post Number: 613 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Saturday, March 06, 2004 - 09:11 pm:    Yeah, I agree. Get an 18" half-inch drive breaker bar, and a 16/15 (27mm) socket. Leave the crappy Land Rover Genuine Blood Pressure Increaser in the garage.
