    This photo is the jaguar space saver as used by Mike next to a brand new OE tyre on a forged rim.
    the match stick is used to set the spirit level

    the jag wheel has a static diameter about 3mm more than the standard wheel. Or 1.5 mm radius.
    I say static because once the weight of the car is on the tyre I guess the space saver would give more

    thanks  for that kr1s. for a moment I thought maybe I was going mad!



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Looks neat ….

    Found one of those Jag wheels on ebay, also some of the wider tyres, also in orange.

    I’m trying to not cut the EPP inserts, only remove the left hand one and add a fixing bracket and sub bolt down through the wheel.

    Aim is it will work with a Kuga wheel and a full size spare (also some where to put the road wheel with the puncher),  In theory can adapt to the Jag as wheel if it has the 115 tyre.

    Question, what difference has it made to the sound on the radio by removing the sub woofer?

    I’m sure someone will have better replies, but….

    To me, none.
    to my grandson, he dialled in some adjustments on the dash.
    to you, maybe unplug it and test first.
