basically the bolt you twist to bring the cage up seems to be seized so i can not raise the cage up with the spare wheel, is there any way of releasing this seized up bolt? or do i have to grind the f****r off and replace it? and where can i buy a replacement bolt for it?.

#11: Re: spare wheel cage Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 3:15 pm ---- it is just stupid design
it would be a lot easier if the bolt has a hex head

i have heard that they can refuse to tow you if they discovered you remove the spare tyre.
not sure if that is true or not.
any light?
#14: Re: spare wheel cage Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 3:27 pm ---- They probably could but i could just say it never had one
Besides its the same guy thats came out to me 2 or 3 times now so he kinda knows me if it really came down to it i could just call a family member to bring me the wheel, on long trips id stick it in the boot

yes alot of recovery companies require you to carry a legal and roadworthy spare tire
A lot of cars don't come with Spare Wheels now
#17: Re: spare wheel cage Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:10 pm ---- Yer my next doors beemer don't come with one,
Just a can of tyre weld in a slot in the boot lol
#18: Re: spare wheel cage Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:23 pm ---- Well mine's coming off as soon as I can be arsed removing it. And if Green Flag won't recover me because I don't have a spare Wheel it's them that will lose out on the money I pay to cover both my Vehicle's. Simple as that.
#19: Re: spare wheel cage Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 5:39 pm ---- I never had one and got towed few times with no
Problems, twice was with f'd wheel so don't worry about lol
#20: Re: spare wheel cage Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 6:47 pm ---- I took mine out because even when tight it would deploy the spare wheel into the middle of the road when going over a speed bump which could be an inconvenience.

Nothing wrong with the design, its idiots not greasing the bolt up that causes the issuse.
3 Peugeot's ive had with this design of spare cage & never had an issue with it.

Have you checked your T&C's or phoned them yet? Wouldn't take anything said on this forum as gospel.

each company is different, im with auto national rescue and its in there t&c's.....how ever they just get the closest recovery people to come out to you, so the chances of them actually checking would be very slim
