That follows my experience. The Fabia I had was 14 months old when
I got it, and the spare was unused, and as I said elsewhere,
identical to the other 4 tyres, just on a steel wheel.

It has been suggested (by a bloke in the pub) that the wheel nuts
are different for alloy and steel wheels.

That certainly is a thing- bolts for alloys can be different lengths
and have a different shoulder, but I've been told the steel spare
wheels will have a hole shaped to suit the bolts that come with the
alloys, assuming the alloys are OE- and anyway, I presume your van
has all steels (or was this not your van?)


It's not my works van. It's my car (Skoda Octavia estate) that I
bought this Christmas.


Ah, so there's a Skoda theme here :-)

It might be a Skoda thing.
