If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

When people say 'full sized' spare wheel, do they mean the SAME wheel as fitted to the car i.e. a 17", 18" or 19" alloy? I have an HSE with 18" alloys but the spare is a brand new, unused (so I'm assuming this was supplied with the car) 17" steel wheel. Is this what is meant by a full size spare? Do they do space savers for these cars? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

I think so, that's certainly what I mean when I say "full sized spare". I'm looking for a full sized spare (19") for my 2011 HSE.

I paid £135 for a 17" alloy the same as the original new. I paid £80 for a tyre fitted. I have heard that if you purchase a spare wheel at the point of ordering a new vehicle, a spare wheel is £180.

Early Freelanders came with a spare wheel which was usually mounted on a 17 inch steel wheel and limited to a maximum of 50 mph. Later Freelanders came with either a can of tyre repair gunk and an inflator or the option of a full sized spare wheel which was mounted on the same alloy wheel and was the same size as the wheels and tyres fitted to the car. I think the change took place in 2010 (MY2011) but may have been earlier.

Specifying a full sized spare on a new Freelander is about £180. Buying one later is more like £280-£300 unless you find one on an auction site or here.

All the Freelander 2 wheels have the same rolling diameter, it makes no difference if you are on 17" or 19" wheels the wall is is a lower profile on the larger wheels, so you can fit any size of the genuine wheels and the speedo will still read the same.

I got a tyre and wheel for £70 - unused secondhand 17"
Jack was about £20 - usually £50 from dealer. Bargain
I keep the compressor that came with the bottle "goo" in the boot too - handy to have for topping up tyres * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.

I have been looking for a 19" alloy for my HSE, but the cheapest I've found is £200 for a wheel and tyre. The only problem is that it was pick up only and I didn't fancy driving all the way to Southhampton just for a spare wheel.

That's why we have the Freel2 courier network

Yes seen it, where was one a couple of weeks ago which made £150. The style of the spokes is the same as mine but some have the smoked finish as opposed to the Silver Sparkle

Just negotiate for a proper spare and jack when you buy the car Landrover will get the message eventually...

Discussed before (last year I think) - all the wheels have the same diameter when fitted with the correct tyre. It's perfectly legal to have different sized wheels!!! I think the supplied spare is always 17". Odd 17" ones come up from time to time, other sizes tend to come in sets. The steel spares were always 17" and came with two different tyre sizes - apparently at random. If buying on ebay note that FR1 wheels DO NOT fit the FR2.

!7 inch alloy spare wheel fits perfectly in the boot on mine.
