HELP! How to Remove Spare Wheel?

Hello, first I will take this oppurtunity to introduce myself. My Name is Brian Johnson, I live in Kent and I love my RRS. I also have a problem.

I need to remove the spare wheel from the underside of my RRS but do not know how to do so. I bought the car second hand last year without the owners manual, therefore I have no clue on how to remove the spare.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Brian.

It is lowered by the bolt underneath the floor in the rear of the boot, use the wheel brace.

Thanks, that does help. I assumed you had to do it from under the car as I was looking and it looks as if it would be possible from down there. Isn't this a bit insecure?

Cheers for the help.

Once you have lowered the spare, be very careful when winding the wire back up. There is a post about what to watch out for over on our sister forums www.Disco3.co.uk A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

You access the bolt to work the winch from inside the car, lift the panel in the boot floor... Cheers
