To be fair, mine is a saloon and Carl's is an estate, so the coupe might be different? Not sure on that....
Good luckThanks John,
I'll do some digging over the w/e
Damn, I was told no spare by the lying, cheating, salesman and I believed him...
Feel a tw*t now, I'll have to investigate a skinny on the web.
I've always had an uneasy feeling about goo as a sole solution (pun intended)!
If you have Bluetec in the 212 facelift, there is no room in the saloon for a spare wheel as the pig weewee tank takes up the volume of the wheel well. On the 213 they have made provision for this is a proper place. On the 212 estate I believe there is spare volume under the load space floor around the wheel well.

Ok,
So I took the bags of sand general ****-shat out of the boot and had a peep...
You're right there's a tank avec yes yes!
No room for any type of spare.
No ****** jack either!

Nah, 'warranty' (mb)What pigpiss?
Oof don't use the "w" swearword!!!Nah, 'warranty' (mb)
Pigpiss is fine
Me too... In a W204.I have HK in my E250 and have a space saver spare.
Sorry Craig this is a fallacy.
A wider tyre has a different shaped footprint but not a significantly larger one (as long as tyre pressures are equal).
In other words increasing a tyres width by 20% does not give a 20% bigger footprint, just 20% wider and 20% shorter. The governing factor for footprint is tyre pressure. The higher the pressure the smaller the footprint (for a given weight).
