My spare and the jacking kit are all in a polystyrene (?) case in the spare wheel well.  On every other car I've owned they have been secured either by a screw in handle or a strap, this car seems to have neither.  It's quite annoying sometimes hearing it squeaking away on a rough bit of tarmac, is it usual for it to be loose like this ?

No, it should be held down with a screw and plastic large bolt in the middle and the tool kit should have a strap around it holding it to the spare.

Like this...

 

 

 

So the strap that I found loose in the boot was to secure the jack/tool holder to the spare wheel!!!  Pity it has now disappeared into the black hole I call a garage.  I have a pair of work gloves and a couple of cloths on top of the tool kit to stop the foam squeaking against the spare wheel.  I have some webbing and buckles so could probably make a replacement strap.

I still have the strap, it was under the spare wheel.  I've tried different ways of securing the jacking kit to the wheel but it stills squeaks on rough tarmac. :no:   Maybe I'll pack the gap between the tool kit and the wheel with something to stop it moving. 

 

One good thing I found out while faffing around with the spare and the tool kit was that the jacking pad I used on my trolley jack for my last car is a good fit for this car too.    I finally found the jacking points too, the wonder of actually reading the owners manual ! Haha

The strap is just meant to go through a hole on either side of the wheel, then nice and tight up and over the polystyrene in the divot bits on it, the two squarish areas just past 2 & 8 o'clock in the picture, right across the wheel nut spanner. Never had a peep out of mine.
