Spare wheel

[DevilDamo]

My 197 doesn't have a spare wheel, so I'm pretty sure other 197's (or 200's) don't either?

I have full AA and ADAC (European equivalent) cover. If I get a puncture here, I'd have to call the AA. I'd probably do the same while abroad (e.g. in Germany). However, I'm thinking about buying a spare wheel just incase I do have that problem. I'd just leave it in the boot.

So can anybody recommend one... obviously looking at a 17" wheel (assuming I can get one)?

buy a good second hand one 17in form off here or ebay or get the renault "space-saver" wheel

and lose valuable boot space? I just called the RAC when i got a flat. Pretty short conversations.

Do you have a spare wheel?
No
Do you have an inflation kit?
yes
Have you tried to use it?
No, its useless.
Ok we have a truck on the way to you, be there inside 30 mins.

Then got it dropped off at my work to have a new wheel fitted next day.

cant believe theres a sticky in this section about the spacesaver spare and yet you still ask about one.
