Collapsible spare
Well a repair kit will only 'fix' a small puncture, perhaps caused by a nail or screw. When full of the stuff a replacement tyre is required. I'll NEVER have 4 up far from home with a full boot, so no problem with wheel that's off the car, plus I'll keep a heavy duty plastic bag just in case it had ...

Collapsible spare
Well I'm not as fit as I was, 72 next week, and the effort to change a wheel myself would be almost too much on a dry flat piece of concrete, but with 'er indoors grumbling on a wet rainy night in France, perhaps on less than an ideal surface I would still call out rescue whatever the situation. At ...

Collapsible spare
Yes of course, just ordered, would have done on a new build anyway. 3k miles in Europe at end of this month. £72k on a new car and no spare wheel, but electric side window blinds, black roof rails, sport design mirrors - crazy!

Collapsible spare
I am collecting a 9 month old SD next week without a spare wheel. The kit is £580, so do I bother? Not sure I want to rely on roadside support on a wet night in the middle of France. So my inclination is to order the kit. Even with it, not sure I would inflate & change a wheel myself so would still ...

You are right, but the ride was awful, on comfort PASM, at least to us two old fogeys and coming from a Jag XFS on 20"s (sublime), no firm decision yet. Am thinking I could sell them on, perhaps, and buy what I want?

GTS vs F-Pace S
I wanted to go to an SUV of some sort. Have a 1 yr old XF S now, driven 3 F Pace, totally underwhelmed with fit/finish etc, so just bought a 1 yr old SD. Nuff said.

Elctric sun blinds
Was going to order new, same colour combo but far less options, sent spec to them, they reduced the price of this one quite a lot, so went for it. Not keeping the 21's though, they offered new18's or 19's in price. Probably take the 19's. Should have it Tuesday.
