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? |
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

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.

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
