Trouble is, there's not many cars nowdays that have the space to fit a full size spare wheel into the wheel well. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Surely if your nuts are too tight that will affect whatever car you drive?

Yes that does apply to many cars, although I believe the DS can be had with 5 seats and a full size spare but for some reason in manual form only or is it in 2wd only? Academic for me now as it won’t pass my "reverse” test. |

Yes tight nuts are not LR specific I guess ….. the AA man first tried his electric wheel nut tool with no luck, then brought out a normal size wheel bar with no luck, and then brought out a metre long breaker bar which, after leaning on, did the trick. The car had, of course, just been serviced by land Rover, so much for 140Nm |

The 5 seaters are all E-Capability models, it's their low emission model which eliminates the need for a 2WD version as it gets below the magic CO2 figure so only come with manual gearboxes and one 18" alloy wheel option no matter what the spec and has the option of a full size spare. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

My Freelander is going in for a couple of tweeks next weekend & they are lending me a DS. I am taking that for a weekend away so will have a chance to comment on it. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
