Dear Mr G I regret that it will not be possible to order the tempa spare wheel as an accessory either in the near future. This part will cease to be available either during manufacture or afterwards. Jo Howard Customer Support Manager |

Had I not been able to specify a spare wheel , albeit a spacesaver, I would not have proceeded with the purchase of my XC60

Exactly my position as well. (A fullsize spare would have been even better of course).

Very interesting folks - I've had my V60 two days and just realised I have no hope of getting any sort of spare wheel - I'm a 'senior' motorist and am extremely reluctant to have to agree to motor without a 'spare' it goes against all my driving experience of some 57 years! Is there nothing we can do to put this right.

Its pretty poor, I agree and probably a cost cutting exercise regards a lack of spare wheels. However not sure that its a consumer right to have a spare wheel..!! |

it's might be a bread and butter initiative to an organisation like "which?". they love this kind of thing. they often tackle whole industries on new trends. there would have to be a justification of course, e.g. this trend may be considered a safety issue - not that i'd stand up in a room and argue that point myself. that said, with the on-going shortage of rubber, the car industry may have a point to make. they could easily play the eco card, rightly or wrongly.
