I prefer the full size spare too Mick, but I just wish it fitted in the tyre well in the boot, its a daft idea putting the battery there, surely they could of pressed another space for that? I'm off on a golfing trip to Devon next month, that should be a bit of squeeze! 2 golf bags, cases and the spare! Never mind, its a great car

I was given a compressor and sealant when I bought the car as the dealer had fitted two new front tyres (non runflat) so when it came time to replace the rears I opted for non runflats and bought a full size spare and jack kit - it was a bit pricey at the time but I dont really do that many miles so the tyres should last a long time. I dont do enough miles to warrant buying a diesel really but after reading all the reviews and finding the exact spec I wanted for the right price I just had to have it - great motors. No laughing now but I had a mint 53 plate Black 320ci 65k and sold it for a Volvo C30!!!! I had that for approximately 6 months, god I hated that car, I dont know what possessed me!

The runflats had to go jeffthro, but who's bright idea was it to put the battery in the tyre well in the boot? I've got a full size spare in the boot which leaves little room for anything else!

Cheers Mick, even after a brief search I see there is a ton of knowledgeable info on here, i've already switched to non runflats and thinking of a remap so i'll be checking out the forums
