Spare Wheel

Post by chunky63 »

I have a 2011 Bluemotion and for punctures it comes with some gungy and a compressor and to save weight there isnt a jack or wheel brace :shock:
I would like to buy from the dealers a space saver, jack and tool kit and hoped one of you might help me with fitting them into the boot.
From my investigations not all Mk8 Polos are the same when it comes to whats in the boot so pictures of your boot space would be very helpful. Thanks :)

You could always get some of this http://www.tyreprotect.co.uk/puncture_p ... ducts.html you put it in the tyre before you even get a puncture! You just drive around with it in if you get a nail in your tyre it automatically seals the puncture. This stuff is what the emergency services use so is well tested.

Thanks Candyman. My concern is more that the tyre gets so damaged it cannot be driven on.

If the tyres were that badly damaged you shouldn't be driving on them anyway!
