Hello Carl,

I have a spare spare wheel carrier.

Have sent you a pm.

Cheers

Jack

Good luck finding one given how rare of a car these are now can't be more then a few hundred left in the UK I bet

Sadly not looks to be around 2k roughly with a lot on sorn (decaled off the road)



Hopefully for the op someone may have a sorn one sat around with a good spare wheel winch

I'm sure you'll find one. But if not, perhaps it could be repaired?
I prised mine apart and repaired the broken alloy worm gear inside, using low temperature alloy brazing rod. I was a right pain to open, but it's been working for years, since.

Problem with these is that they are not repairable cos the gears are plastic and if the teeth get damaged if and when you can get the spare wheel off the mechanism is scrap.
I threw mine away and bolted a long bolt to the floor with a large wingnut, so far I have not needed the spare which is very heavy, so I keep an aerosol repair tin in the door pocket.

An alternative solution is to place a metal basket like the one used by many PSA group cars.
The photos are terrible but I think you can understand

Did you get sorted
