Just a point of interest...
After reading some time ago about spare wheels I started to think... I've never had a car without one and decided to do something about it... I checked out EBay and saw a new one at £40 and inviting the next bid at £45... Well I kept track of it and it eventually went for nearly £87 plus postage... As a matter of interest I phoned the dealer who I bought my Up from and he quoted £70 - so I ordered one! Went to collect it and it was plus the dreaded VAT - which brought it to £84. Still a good buy! The jack (essential with a spare wheel) was a further £22 + VAT. I didn't bother with a wheel brace as I already have a 17mm socket and wrench. Now I have peace of mind.
