I do hope that spare is strapped down Sean.

Good point Patrick Will do somehow .......

Maybe a tough cargo net?
not sure how you would secure it though.
Is there some sort of space where a spare used to reside?
My wife’s Atto 3 has an insert (see below pic) that is spare wheel shape, that holds the tyre inflator etc, that you can pull out.
Does your car have this type of insert where a wheel may fit?

You may have the rings to secure a child seat. You could somehow attach the spare wheel to one of those. A spare tyre is probably the weight of a mid size child so it should hold it.

Yes Bryce , I have rearranged the large spare wheel in the Boot, using the hold down rings. Takes half of the boot space but not a problem as I can use the back seats folded down for extra space if I ever need it need it. As Patrick said ...secure it .... Still amazed at the performance of the Renault sourced 1.33 Turbo Engine. Now manufactured by Mercedes...

Nice work Sean.
live read a bit on this engine after you mentioned it. It seems like a really great designed engine.
