I have the same problem, just means putting one of the rear wheels on the front and puting the spare on the back

Yeah, you need to swap 2 instead one and then you're done :)

Got this at the roadside and did as you said - cancelled recovery truck! So thanks for that!
Lateral thinking eh? Brilliant.

Fecking great nail hole on the crown - and since I had to crawl about a mile on a very busy 60mph single carriageway road to a stopping area, will need new tyre even though it would have probably been fixable had I stopped immediately. Thankfully, the rim is absolutely fine. Nothing focusses the mind like a shagged Titan. Actually, talking of shagging a tight'un...heh heh heh...

is an s60 not just a waste of space rather than a space saver?

Why have you got a spacesaver? I thought the R came with a full fat spare wheel?

i'm guessing he's got the 7 seat conversion that takes up half the wheel well

Yes, it has a 7 seat conversion - although I am seriously thinking of making it back to 5!
