Magnet Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Hello Bill, No space-saver spare wheel = no jack or wheel brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybones1 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Thanks both for your reply’s its good to know that there aren’t these parts before I query it with Audi dealer and make a fool of myself. It is what it is but that’s not to say I agree with it and I’m sure that many others don’t either- but thanks for your prompt responses Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wise Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Hi Bill,some cars don't give you a jack,but the contact I gave you do supply a jack with saver wheel,however definitely ask dealer they may sort it for you DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Thanks Bill, Well yes, it reassuring to know there isn’t anything missing, but it isn’t so reassuring to know that any puncture = ruined tyre. I changed our non-Audi a couple of years ago, and the first thing I did was to source a space saver spare wheel and the associated tools. Yes, I could have gone to a specialist company who would have supplied me with the full-optional-kit at unhappy-wallet prices, but I chose to search eBay for the individual items at a much lower cost. Just Incase it helps. ( does anybody know why Incase always defaults to a capital I?). Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect your computer believes "incase" (as one word) to be a name or proper noun, though it should actually be two words "in case". Do you have Incase listed in the computer dictionary by chance? If so, try deleting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Thanks Cliff, Now that’s food for thought, on the never too old to learn theme. I’ve always written ‘in case’ as Incase ( without the capital I) from the days when I had hair. So are you saying that’s incorrect, and it should be written as ‘in case’, and if so, is that anything to do with an Americanism, or the pitfalls of an ill informed Welshman!? No probs. either way, since I’m now offence-proof. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Two words I'm afraid Gareth, not one, and it's definitely not an Americanism. It's odd how simple slips become ingrained. For example I used to be able to spell accomodate without a thought, but now I have to look it up every time because I double the "m", single the "c", or substitute an "a" for an "o" or various permutations of the three.

Magnet Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Well, fancy that! Many thanks Cliff. Great shame you weren’t able to be one of the S. Wales’ valley academics who got me into this bad habit. I like the ingrained bit - this certainly has been exactly that with me over too many decades to recall. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
