Hi Inchindown,
Thanks for posting your experiences about purchasing a spare? I did exactly the same thing and for the same reasons? However your post got me thinking, I got the same type of steel wheel and tyre, clamp screw, jack and a rather large plastic insert that goes over the spare but doesn't allow you to fully close the floor lid? So you can't use it? Weird or what? (similar to what holds the repair kit in place but in reverse)
Anyway, after reading your post I checked and guess what, no steel wheel nuts making the spare un-useable I've been driving around for 3 weeks and didn't realise
So back to the dealership, blah blah, set of steel wheel nuts are now on order
As it was a nice day yesterday I decided to give the Antara it's first good clean and found a small chip in one of the alloy wheels
another job for the dealership to sort out? Then whist cleaning the windscreen I noticed on the tax disc it stated Disabled and zero cost? I dug out the registration papers and found out the dealership had registered my Antara for a disabled person
The dealership will now have to re-register it correctly
Maybe buying a 13 plate registered Antara was a little bit risky
