Space saver spare wheel for 850

Aug 28th, 2002, 08:18

Hi,
I have had a gas conversion fitted to my 850 estate and as I have lost the spare wheel well to the gas tank I am looking for a space saver spare wheel.
If anybody has one for sale or has any info about where I can get one at a reasonable price (£220+vat from Volvo and that's just the wheel !!!!!) I would be grateful if they could let me know.
Thanks.

Yup, I've got one that's surplus to requirements, email me - address on my details - and we can agree a price and collection.

Hello

If you were to buy a bi-fuel Volvo S/V40 from the factory then you would find no spare wheel! What you do get is a jack and a can of tire foam/puncture repair!! You just jack up the car and spray the foam into the tyre - drive to a local garage and inflate it to the correct pressure. Continue driving and have the puncture fixed at the earliest opportunity.

Regards Chris.

Not much use if the tyre is severely damaged and won't retain the foam!

Hi, I had my 850 converted to gas a year ago. Had the Tartarini Etagas system fitted. How do you get on with yours. I have the doughnut tank in the spare wheel well too and just leave my spare lying in the back only leaving it out when I have to when I have to load right up.
