Big Flaw in the Evoque

If they are anything like The Walking Dead variety then, yes, no probs. (Watch it but it irritates me as surely all you need is an armoured LR Defender and an automatic rifle and you can do as you please!)

The 28 Day's Later ones were a tad smarter and quicker though - gotta be ready to wake up one morning and find the neighbours wandering about in a slightly more disturbing fashion than they already do and grab the car keys and go! Hmmm, can see how calling out LR Assist in such a situation could be a little risky though...

At the end of the day, as long as you can run faster than SWMBO then there shouldn't be an issue ... whoops, sorry did I trip you?

I always opt for the spare but I do like an original spare ifnI can find one when they come up on Fleabay......... Spare to get me home change to the nice original and save a month or two for the replacement tyre!

Works for me anyways

Very true...will remember that...

Buy one of the cheap sets of Evoque wheels and tyres that come up regularly on ebay. Take off the tyres and sell the wheels on ebay Hey presto a very cheap set of spare tyres... ta da.

My wife did not know that it was flat and she did not feel it when driving. I looked at the tyre and the outside edges of the tyre had been worn away (all be it a little bit just to take the writing off) also as I pressed the tyre I could hear the air exiting the tyre. I found the slit in the tyre and tried to pump it up at home (I have a compressor) but the slit was too big to get any air in to the tyre. We do not have the space saver So the car is stuck at home which is lucky I guess. We have the 20" alloys and after getting on the phone we cant get a tyre as nobody carries them as they are made of GOLD thats what you would think when you get the price. We were quoted £408.00 fitted from Kwik Fit or should I say Kiwk Ripoff this was with the so called 25% off. My point is now if the tyre has a slit not a slow puncture then you are totally screwed as the goo fix will not sort that out so you are stuck in your car no spare and no way of moving your car unless you get help from Land Rover Assist. I am waiting now for a tyre to be delivered as I found a Michelin for £198.00 which is a super price . Without the space saver you are in trouble so I so wish that I had ordered one now but did not .The Space saver tyre is a must and Land Rover should have put then in from new and not fitted tyres to the 20" alloys made from GOLD. Guess what I will be buying.

Where abouts in London are you? I live in Surrey and have a space saver. You are welcome to Borrow my spare if it helps you out for a couple of days until you get a replacement. If the distance is too great maybe another forum member could assist you.

Great offer, really kind, made me smile.

I saw the complete kit, space saver, jack and boot inserts on e-bay for 380.00!

Never understood why you cant just run away from zombies or mow them down in your car theyre so slow!

Only on babyRR can you talk about a spare wheel and the best way to kill zombies in the same thread

What! There's talk about a spare wheel in this thread?! I'll have to take another look!
