Hi guys,

I’m considering purchasing the Jag space saver and was looking for a bit of advice.

Will any mk3 Focus jack work or must it be from the ST ?

Looking at the pictures, the tray has to be cut to accommodate the wheel, is this relatively straight forward ?

Are there specific wheel nuts to buy or are all Jaguar wheel nuts flat rather than tapered ?

Thanks again,

David.

@davidw, Focus ST Mk3 Jack is the one to go for as it is designed to lift the weight 👍

Thanks. Had a look at spare wheels on EBay. There appears to be 2 different size tyres available on the 18 inch orange wheel. Does it matter which of the 2 you go for ? Is cutting the tray is relatively straight forward ? Thanks again.

@davidw, @bda, he has done that very conversion. Hopefully he will be along and explain how he did it 😀

Hi. Had another look. Looks like both 115×85 or 135×80 are used on the orange wheel. Think an earlier post with a link to eBay was for the 135x80x18. Wondered if it mattered which of the 2 to go for.

Hi bobcat, thanks for the info, really helpful. Still a bit unsure though if it matters whether the Jag spare wheel comes with a 115×85 tyre or 135×80.

Hi, found more info, RS chat, page 14. Looks like the 115×85 is the best option.
