Hey people I am hoping you can help me with a query...
I had a blow out on the drivers side front tyre tonight, managed to get parked up quickly and safely albeit on a fairly busy road with lorries thundering past so I called the RAC to assisit me (yeah i'm useless when it comes to this things, plus the car was pretty close to the road and i didn't want to get hit by one of those lorries while i tried to change a tyre).
Recovery man takes the front wheel off and goes to replace it with the space saver when he says there is a problem with the space saver... It doesn't fit the front or over the brembo caliper, but looks like it will fit the back. Is this correct? Me knowing nothing about these issues I couldn't say. He was unsure about removing the rear to place on the front and then put the space saver on the back because of the difference in front/rear sizes.
So I wonder if there was any truth in this or if he got it wrong as it was getting dark or maybe I have an incorrect space saver? Any help would be really appreciated as currently the car is on the drive after being brought back on a truck and I wondered if I need to get a mobile fitter out or can swap the tyres over to get the car to a garage.
Cheers in advance.
