Our 2008 LR2 has a temporary spare tire in the wheel well.
Will a full-size spare fit? Our Range Rover has a full-size spare as standard equipment and I have found that useful in the past.

Hi Vindner. In Australia the LR2 (Freelander2 in Australia) has a full size spare. I was considering various vehicles including a BMW X3, VW Tiguan, neither with a full size spare which is essential in the land down under hence why I chose the Freelander2.

In Russia Freelanders are sold with a full-size spare weel

Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently.
I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes

Thanks for the quick replies. Time to order a full-size spare.

In Switzerland FL2 are sold with[/b] anorexic [b]spare tyre/wheel

Why shouldn't? All wheels (235/65/17 - 235/60/18 and 235/55/19) are the same diameter.  2010 Freelander 2 Select TD4 auto....gone

I think the S always came with foam inflation muck, which proves it to be just a penny pinching exercise, forcing most people who will inevitably spec a full size spare and therefore spend EXTRA for what shouldn't be an EXTRA
I thought TATA owned LandRover not Ryan Air

They are not frightened about possible bad press calling it "inflation kit" They definitely dont advertise their inflation prices !!! All FL2's (3) Gone

I doubt it is only LR doing this at all. I know that MG-Rover did the same thing around 2004 as well. These things get noticed & generally come back & bite you! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

When we picked up our new Freelander a couple of weeks ago the dealer had added a full size spare to the Invoice, I hadnt asked for it but as I think it should be standard and is required I didnt mind.
I assume the dealer also thinks its a stupid idea.
Reminds me, I havent actually looked to see if its there yet!

Saw a Land Rover the other day with a full sized spare wheel on the boot and another on the bonnet. Thought that was a great idea and just think of all the extra space inside where you need it Of course a big fixture welded to the bonnet of a Freely wouldnt suit some folks  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Why don't folks just bolt another couple (one) to each front door, and come to think of it - one on each rear flank above the wheel arch. Most never look through those windows and they don't need the embedded aerials to listen to the Archers on an expedition. If you place the alloy correctly on the right side you'd be able to put the fuel pump through a gap in the spokes to fill up.

Now they can all adventure off road right across the Mongolian steppes without probably ever needing to repair a puncture until they got safely home in the cosy Cotswolds
