Thanks guys! I assume it also comes with a mounting kit for safe storage?
Does it have other plastic bits around it in the boot etc?

why dont you get one off the bay? much cheaper When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

only cheaper on ebay until you consider jack,wheel brace and wheel well packaging. might as well order properly if buying new At work

I ordered a full size spare when I bought my MY2010 it came with jack and jack handle which clips to the jack. The wheel retaining screw fitting which holds the wheel in place and forms a support for the removable boot floor also screws through the jack holding it firmly to the floor of the wheelwell.

Although I have not so far had to use either jack or spare, the one issue I have is that if you have sidesteps fitted you have to remove them before you can jack up the car which could be a bit of a pain.

OK, too late to add spare wheel to new car order so plan B:
1) Find a 17" alloy / steel spare rim (and maybe a tyre) on ebay
2) Buy a jack - does this one from Machine Mart look like the OEM one in terms of the saddle area that makes contact with the car sill? I have a feeling it looks right and is 5 times cheaper than the LR version

you will also need a spare wheel clamp for the well in the boot  rainy-city

Hi snowy, In fact, it is possible, certainly on the rear wheels, to change them without removing the side steps - you need to use the winding handle at about right angles to the car, not the normal 45 degrees. A little bit awkward, but easier and quicker than removing the steps. It is down to the possibility of the handle fouling on the step, the jack itself fits underneath without a problem.
Cheers.

Update:
Won a new 17" steel spare with new tyre on eBay for £70
Need wheel brace now - what are the wheel nut sizes? Can't measure as I don't have the new car yet
Machine mart jack looks like it should do the trick
