Hi I have a GTC on 18inch alloys my space saver tyre is marked 125/70 R17 98M so that's a 17inch by 5inch rim with the tyre side wall making up the height difference got mine of ebay £90 with jack/tools and foam fitting kit, like you have found that the inflation glup do's not work, they are sold new ebay amazon and Vauxhall but at a price, should have got one when I brought the car £110 but thought I was being cleaver

Hi Andyp, thank you for the info, just what I needed to know, as I say I have only just brought the car, I take it the repair kit & surrounding area just lifts out & the spare wheel well is underneath, once again thanks
