Many thanks for all the useful comment guys.

One annoyance with all this is that the car has what looks like a
full depth spare wheel well.

So to save a few quid and perhaps some weight, the driver gets
stuck with a far interior solution to an age old
problem.

Just about every car new i have looked at in the last three months has
the option of a spare. Vauxhall charge £95, ford £105, IIRC.
Most drivers don't opt for one as they don't know how to change the
wheel in the first place.

They just call the AA/RAC/GF and let them sort it.
