£500, I wish !!!

Went to collect my spacesaver today, oh dear again !!!

Dealer offered to fit it for me, then found i've a sub in the boot floor so i need a host of other things for the wheel to sit on and above, besides the jack toolkit polystyrene holder. ( I did supply my Vin Number to identify my vehicle but alas eh !!!)

The saga continues ! Saturday is the next instalment.

When i came out of the dealership my vehicle was surrounded by dealership mechanics (   Sorry i meant Technicians ) They said they hadn't seen one of these before !!!

I would have demanded the one installed in the grey one.

Space saver " All Done " finally !!!

The compressor I've fitted just North of the battery ( now wrapped in bubble wrap )

"just in case"

Where i've fitted my Compressor, just north of the battery, there seems to be on a previous post picture a smaller battery fitted, what's all that about ?

For diesel models fitted with eco stop / start as diesels vs petrol.The diesels take more power to start and the 2nd battery saves killing the main battery.

For all the sage you been though getting that spare it would be worth a flat tyre just to use it

Thanks for the second battery heads up ( thought I was missing out ) 

My Spacesaver and associated equipment is brand new and unused, and staying like it !!! ( I hope )
