Question Does factory tool kit include spark plug wrench?

Two weekends ago, my buddy an I did the major service on my FC, but I didn't have the correct socket or wrench to pull the spark plugs.

The last time we had this problem was on my 944, and it turned out there was a spark plug socket right in the toolkit that came with the car, but no luck this time with the FC.

So I was wondering whether the factory toolkit was supposed to include one, or did the PO somehow lose his?

Mine did, Australian Delivered Series 4 N/A built in 1985

So I'd be guessing your previous owner did loose it.

My kit only came with:
1) Tool to remove the BBS rim caps
2) Two wheel chocks
3) Lug Wrench/Tire Iron
4) A vynal bag with a tie to wrap it all up

If anyone has the plug socket in the kit, or anything I dont have in their kit, please post a picture

Wow, mine came with heaps of stuff...

10mm/12mm open end spanner with Mazda stamped on it.
Spark plug tool.
Pliers (pretty dodgy ones, but hey... )
Tool to open the sunroof manually.
Wheel brace/tire iron/chocks

probably some other stuff im not remembering right now..
It all came in this nice little black wrapable bag thingy that you can tie up.

White_FC: Your kit sounds almost like the Ford kits that came with a Model T, you could take apart almost the entire car with it!

I forgot about the vert roof crank (T) and the BBS wrench.

I forgot I had the 'T' because I have never used it in the 16 years I have had the car.

I have also never had the spare out of the well. I'd better check it's pressure!

I only have a tire iron, chocks, and some odd screwdriver.
