Hello, I have had the car since september, yesterday I was looking at the tempa spare wheel, I then noticed that the locking ring which is supposed to hold the wheel in place is not screwing in to anything so there is something missing like some sort of tee nut, can any owners who have the tempa spare wheel take a photo of what is missing please. Many thanks.

The locking ring does screw into the bottom of the boot. Maybe silly question, but we are talking about the screw underneath the foam tool/jack holder?

Had the unfortunate chance to use the whole lot a few weeks back when the rear picked up some 4 inch screw!

Hello and thanks for the reply, I have removed the wheel but there is nothing for the locking ring to screw into there is a slot which I assume a nut must slide into.

Is your car from new? Just wondering if a previous owner may have added the wheel, just placing it in there.

Yes brand new, I have contacted dealer but they dont seem to understand what is missing, dealer is 30 mile round trip, with lockdown I am unable to go there. Just wanted to see what other members cars that have a tempa spare wheel use to hold it in place.

Thanks for the pictures, mine is totally different as you can see from my pictures all I have is a slot.

I think a trip to the dealers is in order once this lockdown ends. Many thanks for all replies.
