If you have a puncture and have the space saver wheel fitted, then you fit the space saver wheel.

...therefore do not get a puncture when you have all seats filled and a full boot! |

I've had more than my fair share of punctures. With my last car, a Seat, most of the time I shoved the wheel in the car & got it repaired, then put everything back in it's place. Otherwise it is 4 lots of disassembly & assembly, instead of twice. Mind numbing stuff.

Statistically, when the car is full, one gets a puncture! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I don't think there is a perfect place to have a full size spare. In the freelander if you have a puncture the boot needs emptied , all your stuff lying out in the rain. I used to drive a works Renault kangoo van , spare was underneath and had to be wound down , that was the easy bit . More than once in the pouring rain I had to sit on a blanket that I carried in the van and push the the burst wheel with my feet back on to the cradle then kneel down and hook the cradle onto the winder. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !! |

OK, thx for that clarification taztastic, yet again someone on here is better informed than the salespeople in most LR dealerships. I guess that's simply because we are actually more interested in the details of the vehicles than they are! |

They do indeed seem trivial reasons, I also cannot understand why the rear panel will not go back on the car, surely at the design stage someone could have seen this and acted accordingly?

I generally agree with Carbuyer reviews and I have been waiting for their take on the DS. Wait over....

To be honest, after keeping up with this thread while keeping an open mind, that did not tell me much that I didn't know already. Worth watching though |

Yeah I know RichP. I thought twice about posting it after the review I posted a few days ago, but as there was a glimpse of the spacesaver (blink and miss it) I thought I would whack it on here. No more I promise.

Where are they all ? haven't seen one yet apart from the one in our local dealers showroom. Not even one out on demo. No advertising either its all Evoque Evoque here - presumably they're still being made & stockpiled for Easter on ?

Lack of transporters, there have been a couple of delays extra "quality control" checks before leaving the factory, Bulls***, I paid for an hours subscription to Topix it revealed a lot, but now the flood gates are open and they can't get them out quick enough. My one is a week late, it's built but awaiting a transporter, should arrive at the dealers Tuesday with collection on Friday. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |
