You should be able to order the space saver spare wheel and the two level load floor from your local Volvo dealer or online from places like Volvo Parts Shop.
You will need to buy the two level load floor to be able to fit the spare in a petrol V40 as it has a shallower wheel well.

Thanks, searched the website and nothing on there, phoned them and they quoted £260 for the full kit, not cheap but not as bad as i'd expected.

If you’re near Aberystwyth I have one, with jack that I don’t need.

Hi just read your post well done on your new car, the one from the Tottenham dealership yes? I’m looking for the right T5 too at the moment. What do you think of it?
Cheers Paddyzulu

Thank you for your kind offer!
Sadly I live pretty far away, down on the south coast.

Thats the one lol!!

And love it, wasn't sure i would be happy trading down to a smaller car but glad I did.
Also first auto box for me too, always gone for manual over an auto, but so much easier in the commute with an auto!
The only thing i miss from my old V70 is the bass from the sub lol, not suire how easy it is to add the subwoofer to the V40, the stereo is still good, but miss the real low down rumble from the sub.

Have a look on eBay - a space saver from any post 2008 Volvo will fit (except XC90). You need a jack as well.

Also you need a kit to raise the boot floor, about £100.
