Space Saver?

[Marlowboy]

Hi all, hope everybody is staying safe and not to bored!

I have recently bought a 2002 X5 running on LPG to play around with. It has no spare wheel. I absolutely hate not having a spare! Is there a “Space Saver” Wheel/Tyre that would fit in an emergency? Thank you in advance...,

You can buy a suitable space saver wheel and tyre from a number of places. Even EBay has them.

What might be more difficult is finding somewhere to put it in the back of your X5 with a gas tank already fitted?

Hi Martin

My 4.4 ran LPG absolutely brilliant, it will depend on what wheel/tyre combination you are running. My 4.4 ran a 19" staggered set up the spare was 17" and is still in the garage unused from the day it was put in the car, while I ran the 4.4 I purchased a small compressor and some tyre goo and carried that as an emergency kit. When I had to replace the 4.4 with the 4.6is it runs 20" staggered wheels/tyre set up there is a space saver in the boot but it seriously looks like a bicycle tyre. I transferred the compressor and tyre goo over. Touches wood now, I have never needed it but it has saved the bacon of two other stranded motorists.
