We have just bought a GC600 ex display, pre-registered with 24 plate and under 200 miles. Essentially new!

There is no tyre inflation kit - Should there be and where will it be located?

I cannot find a First Aid kit or Warning triangle - Should there be and where will it be located?

There is a bracket for a fire extinguisher, but no extinguisher bottle - Should there be and where will it be located?

Also between seeing it for the first time, paying for it and collection, the rear floor section has sustained a little damage, whereby the top woodgrain finish has been damaged. It looks like something has rested on the floor covering and puckered up the top layer. Can this be repaired?

As always, your knowledge and guidance will be very much appreciated.
 
You should have a tyre inflation kit. It comes in a small rectangle black bag and ours was in the back cupboard. The space for the warning triangle is the bottom of the passenger door - but no triangle supplied, you can get them on eBay. The space for the jack can be found under the passenger floor - you will see a section unclips, and again, you can get the approved jack on eBay. There is a space for a spare wheel under rhe rear of the van, and you can get a kit or a dealer can fit that for you. Dealer should deffo supply you with tyre inflation kit though.

The bracket you refer to is probably the one for the warning triangle that you don't get as standard, neither do you get a first aid kit.
Sorry to her about the floor damage, takes a little of the excitement away from the collection of a new vehicle. Hope it's not too bad, I would certainly take it up with the dealer.

Thank you. I took a second look and have now found the little black bag and the inflation kit...I'm not a fan of these. Yes I am looking to get a proper spare installed. I'll get the jack, warning triangle and first aid kit sorted.
