Tyre sealant fluid stuff 17:25 - Oct 23 with 5023 viewsjeera

Car I've got doesn't have a spare wheel, which I'm pissed off about, and the bottle is empty.

I keep pushing my luck, forgetting to buy a replacement. I am in Ipswich tomorrow so can anyone advise where I may buy a refill bottle in Ipswich please?

Wilco Motor Spares. Go speak to Jenny.

Otherwise pop to a scrapyard and get a spare wheel to fit your car.

It's not designed to have a spare though Newcers, that's the problem, and I don't want to fill the boot with one.

I'll Google Wilco Ipswich though ta.

Kia by any chance? Very good cars but come without spare wheels as far as I'm aware.

Norwich Road by the Ferodo Bridge

Does the car not have a spare wheel well still?

Don't forget to check your headlight fluid levels.

No, it's a Vauxhall.

Stupid idea. I hate the thought of having no spare.

It's not shaped for that, but I'll look to see if I could get away with a space saver.

That would be better than nothing.

It's a bit weird a car maker doesn't include a spare. Wonder what the reason is.

Saves money.
Saves weight thus giving them better emissions results than carting a full size spare around.

It's standard in a lot of cars now to not have a spare wheel. Read on being pump and goo is cheaper, and also reduces the weight of the car for favourable emissions ratings. Depending on the car you can retrofit for a spare wheel. Most cars (except very small ones normally) still have the spare wheel well, but they have a different insert to hold the pump and goo tools versus a spare wheel. If your pump and goo is under the floor of the boot, try lift out the big bit of what looks like Styrofoam and see if a spare would fit.

But I'm not sure if the breakdown firm will touch you, (on regular cover) for something like that?

Madness you don't get a spare under any circumstances isn't it?

I'll check that Kiev, cheers.

So basically, you buy one of these cars and then piece by piece you have to re-buy it.

What car do you have? I'm certain a spare will be available on your car, but that it'd be a paid extra.

In theory you should be able to pick one up, if not you could always just remove the insert and drop a spare wheel in with a blanket to stop it knocking about. In reality though the spares are usually heavy enough that they'll not easily move.

My car, a Honda , didn't come with one, although its got a space for it. I got a botlle of stuff and other bits that I don't know how to use. Its extra if you want a spare tyre.
