Spare wheel

my 1.6 elite has 17" wheels, but the spare is a pot of sealer... hmmm...
not sure I'm happy with that I'm quite comfortable with a spacesaver and have seen a few for sale, but they all seem to be 16" Is this the correct one for my car?? thank you

That is correct a full size spare will not fit in the hole.

Make sure you get the correct wheel for your braking system though. i.e. J60 or J67. https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Bra...ifferences I went down the same route and replaced my can of goo for a space saver. Cost me approx. £100. for a 2nd hand jack kit, new wheel, and I was fortunate that the space saver tyre on my old Vectra-C was the same size and got it fitted to the new wheel. I had recently written off the Vectra and was waiting for the insurance Co to take it away, minus a space saver of course  New kits at the time were something like £220. So see if you can source 2nd hand if possible. I suspect there will be more available now than when I was trying to hunt a space saver kit down. |
