#1: Spare wheel cage Author: Yossarian, Location: NE ScotlandPosted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 6:19 am ---- Just had my spare wheel cage fall down going over a speed bump, got a hell of a fright with the noise. The bolt with the clip came right off! I put it all back on and tightened it up and it seems ok now. Anything else I should do or watch out for? I dont want this happening again.

Try adding some cable ties to the wheel carrier then to the metal bumper brackets or similar.

I've never had one come undone on anything PSA ive owned / driven over the last 15 years
As for the bolt unscrewing itself, I bet 80% of the 206's on here with a spare cage the bolt is actually rusted up making the spare wheel useless

It never got far because I checked it regularly. Before long the wheel lived in the boot - keeps it in much better condition.

Cheers guys
