Spare Wheel

I've ordered this as an extra, after my experience of using the repair kits, and was wondering where it was stored, obvious I know but assuming just in the boot well ?

Sorry to be dense - I expected it to go in the boot well and then be covered with the 'cover' as such leaving the normal space - are you saying it goes on top - like where you'd put your shopping?

RE: Spare Wheel

It does go in the floor well in the boot with the floor cover above it leaving the normal boot space for luggage. I saw a pic of it somwhere but can't recall where.

RE: Spare Wheel

Good point. I didn't order one. Might get one after it arrives.

Did you get yours yet or waiting for the new 12 reg in Jan?

RE: Spare Wheel

I think it's difficult to have it after market because if you don't order the spare wheel, the space below the cover has a different shape and, actually, some additional few litres of space available for small luggage

Spare Wheel

I have the spare wheel in mine and it fits under the regular "floor" of the boot. It sits in a different moulding than the tyre repair system.
However, I can't see any reason as to why you couldn't do it aftermarket as long as you could get the moulding as well as the wheel?
I was surprised when my dealer told me that mine was the first he had seen with a spare wheel as I thought most people would opt for it in case a tyre split after a puncture, but maybe not the case?

Waiting for: - 2015 SD4 Dynamic, LUX pack, Auto, 5 door. Mauritius Blue. Santorini Roof........spare wheel.

Here's a pic of the regular moulding - now imagine that with a big circular shape where the spare fits in.
