Im tempted to go the scrappy and buy a space saver. Ive got a 5" steel spare at the moment where the back seats should be (no space in boot) and i weighs a bloody tonne. Do Fiestas come with a 13" space saver? Or do they come with 15"ers with tiny tyres?

i hav'nt got a spare either as im running 14s now and a 13 wont go over the front brakes as to big. was going to put a 14" spare but wont fit in the well. is there any ford that will have a space saver or shall i get a can of the dreaded foam.

I run 7x13's with 205/60's on the capper, I carry a matching spare and had to modify the wooden boot floor to fit it in. Prob with space savers is limited speed (you never know how far you will have to go on it) and where do you put the full size wheel you took off? :wink:

Id like to know i have a tyre to rely on, and not hope the stuff works. I used it on BMX tyres and it didnt always work.

 

And yes, i did fix the engine. It was one of those little rocker retaining springs. I replaced all 8 while i was there. I just cant get the tappets set right now.

i had a blow out on the motor way once, pulled over to inspect the damage... nothing bad, just the tyre gone, so i got the car all jacked up and took the fooked wheel off ready for the spare only to find i didn't have a tyre iron or anything to get the wheel nuts off!

had to call out the AA, felt like a right penis!
