Default Spare tyre in 2002 model

Hi,

Quick question - does the 2002 model come with a spare tyre or is it a tube of that foam stuff ?

If so - where does the wheel go ?

My 2002 has a spare tyre, it's at the back of the boot behind the bulge - you have to pull the carpet trim away (carefully) to reveal the wheel.

Hope this helps

Alex.

2002 model comes with a space saver spare tyre, and it basically sits flat behind the drivers seat. It is accessed by removing some clips from a carpet trim pannel on the right hand side of the boot.

The tools for changing the wheel are in a plastic tray beneath the floor panel in the boot well.

NOTE: to remove the spare wheel cover, hook your finger through the loops of the three black plastic clips at the top of the cover and just yank each clip out. Then pull the cover from the BOTTOM and it will slip out easily. If you try twisting and bending it to remove it top first (a) you'll find it difficult and (b) you could bust part of the cover (as you can no doubt tell, this is the voice of experience )
