puncture nightmare


Recommended Posts

bugger! bit of an odd one tho -are you on standard brakes? and was it the standard spacesaver spare?

you could probably get (i presume you mean the spacesaver) out of a later model for peanuts from a breakers -either a 4motion one or r32 one or something

i can't claim credit for thinking that up (though i'd like to think i'd come up with the same idea!), i saw it either in a mag or on a top gear style programme, and there was a brand new car (something exotic) that came out that requred you to the same thing!

put the space saver on the rear and swap one of the rear wheels to the front ;)

On a VR running big brakes or a TT 312mm conversion, you will need to do this even if you have a 16" spare wheel.

The R32/4Motion spare wheel is not an option, as it has the wrong rolling radius.

My tyres are nail magnets, so I know all about this stuff. :(
