mogwai Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I haven't got a photo of it but it does not take any boot space vs not having it as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS63 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I haven't got a photo of it but it does not take any boot space vs not having it as far as I can see. the space where the spare wheel would have gone is partially filled with some polystyrene filler to stop the tyre wrecker kit moving about. I don't think having a spare wheel on board would take up any more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR897 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 A spare tyre doesn't take up ANY boot space.. it lyes UNDER the boot (i.e. Beneath the flooring of the boot). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Go for the spare wheel mate--don't bother with the foam as it totally wrecks your tyres. As JAR quite rightly states, it is under the floor in the boot so no space taken up at all. Janet can still get all the pigging shopping in the boot (unfortunately) so no worries there. ;) Don't know how late you can leave it before ordering--best check with your dealer sooner rather than later.

I do wonder if calling the tyre inflation kit a "Tyre wrecker" is not some slight misinformation. Ford tell me that they repair all punctures free of charge and have no problem doing this if the kit has been used? The dealer said they simply use a solvent to remove every trace of it? They do tell me though that a few other tyre repair shops are not so forthcoming... they particulary quoted Kwikfit for instance. Is there some other way that the kit may "wreck" the tyres im unaware of? plunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caligator Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have one and it is regular wheel with Goodyear tire - 14'... I will upload photo tomorrow for you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz777 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Have a spare, no noticable difference. as for altering your order, I tried to add something to mine and was told that once the car is contracted to be built, no alterations were allowed. If you have a friendly dealer they might supply the spare and kit for the factory option price post delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caligator Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Here are the photos... I think that everyone should have spare wheel - it is so useful in an emergency:P BTW... anybody knows what would this "b" letter mean?:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
