Why does there always have to be hugely complicated ways of describing something which can be summed up in one or two words?

"Farmergeddon" has already begun in Lincolnshire: Nocton 8.100 unit diary factory farm being re-submiited for approval. South Witham 3,000 unit diary factory farm application refused on first application. Velmur Ltd will reapply. The UK's first million chicken broiler unit is already being hatched by Indian specialists who've recently transgressed into football club ownership. And of course, the workers for these rural factories will need to be housed - in cheap nasty accommodation - crumbling mobile homes and converted old rusty sea containers. One tank will not be enough CG. |

When we were on the LR experience the instructor put it like this, " you use to get a spare wheel, now you get a can of foam" |

I do find this sort of obvious customer fleecing annoying. I have a can-o-gunge in the MX-5 which I can understand as space is limited and it would be near impossible to fit even a space saver in the boot, plus it would screw with the weight distribution. But the thought of not having some sort of spare in anything that even hints at off road seems ridiculous. For a free country, it does seem pretty expensive these days. |

Of course the answer is in our hands. If we all refused to buy a car unless it was fitted with a proper spare wheel then cars would be fitted with spare wheels. I remember a Mondeo I used to have which had a space saver wheel that had a polystyrene pack under it to bring it up to the height of a normal wheel. What happens when you have a repair kit and pump when you have a tyre that has had a blow out? Remember there are never problems, just new challenges |

Or spend an extra £150 (or thereabouts) and buy a full sized spare with matching alloy wheel.

I agree its barmy not to give you a full size spare on a 4x4 but given that a lot of people dont use them as 4x4's then i suspect that its down to customer demand and the fact that not many people actually put the spare on anymore!!!

I suspect it is down to CO2 as much as cost..if you can shed weight the CO2 output will be lower.
