182 spare wheel

[.:xTreme:.]

Does the 182 come with a spare wheel or not, I have read conflicting stories...my dealer said that it does, but they dont tend to know anything

 

[Tom]

nope.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

It hasnt. The spare wheel well is no longer there due to the twin exhausts

 

[mxfuk]

Does the 182 come with foam then?!

 

[Tom]

Yes two rather fetching cans

 

[mxfuk]

Do they have a nice place to live or do they roll around the boot?!!

 

[Tom]

Well my dealer gave me an extra manual wallet to store them in.

not sure

 

[Yugguy]

Hmm, I think Id rather have my full-sized alloy from my 172 than a can of foam, cos never mind the puncture, a can of foams not much use if you want to replace a kerbed wheel.

cant do that with a 182 as the Renault AA cover no longer covers punctures or running out of petrol or anything non warranty!

 

[welsh182]

Got no foam with mine that I am aware of??

Looked everywhere, found a jack?? Getting confused now, although it would make sense to jack the car up to fill a tyre with foam. Will have to get onto the dealer tomorrow. Wasnt this the same with the Cup, they should know about this surely.

[boyced]

shocking!

 

[clio182]

doesnt that get you home spray knacker the tyre so it cant be repaired?

dont see the point in useing it if its going to cost you over a £120 notes to replace after a punture.

anyone/used got any comments on this stuff?

 

[boyced]

so will the aa not tow you then?

 

[Dash]

Does this foam go off if you dont use it ?

 

[.:xTreme:.]

[Tom]

the foam may or may not knacker the tyre depending on whether you want to pay to get it remover but i have been informed that it is not recommended to repair a V rated tyre as it is too great a risk for the speed rating, so really you might as well use the foam as you cant reuse the tyre, although apparently you cant foam it if the damage is in the sidewall of the tyre, not sure why?

 

[Mondial172]

So the tire is no good once it goes pop?

Either way

 

[Turkish]

probably the same reason you cant repair a puncture on the sidewall, due to the stresses and movement in them it could be prone to total failure which would be dangerous to say the least
