space saver wheel.

[Ritchy]

When i dunted my suspension and the wheel went out of line the space saver was all that would fit because the full size was rubbing off the shock. Saved me a recovery trip home and a wait in the middle of the night in the freezing cold

It is documented in the user manual that if a puncture occurs, you:-

IF A FRONT WHEEL

• Get the jack out
• jack car at rear
• remove rear wheel
• replace rear wheel with space saver
• let car down
• postion jack at front of car
• jack car up
• remove punctured wheel
• replace with wheel that was on the rear
• let car down
• place punctured wheel in boot

In truth though, it is a huge hassle, but a space saver should NEVER be put on the front, ALWAYS the rear.

Against is hard to fit, and you cant drive more than 45mph and you look a plonker.......................

The ZS boot is big enough anyway

just wondered how much weight and space is saved by having a "wheel barrow" wheel instead of a standard 6 x 15" steel or alloy rim.

they are pretty light
