If nobody saw you, you've got away with it so no need to be embarrassed. Of course, you've told all of us now so you should be embarrassed.  ;D 
In your defence, if the passenger door was shut it may have been hidden from view.  :y
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

That was exactly the reason why I also had to R TFM to pop the bonnet on my wife's Citroen .....  :-[

Actually opening the bonnet was a faff too.

You are not a trained Peugeot knuckle dragging trained "engineer".  You are not authorised to open the bonnet.

No point being embarrassed about something that is really common. Really, really common.


Although if you want to conform with such people, you need to find the locking wheel nut key and put it in a safe place at home.

I saw the 'so embarrassed' title and due to your advanced age concluded a change of underwear had been required. ::)

New space saver arrived yesterday, along with a 3tonne scissor jack and a wheel brace with different socket sizes. Very good value from The Wheel Shop in Manchester. DHL managed to not drop it, hide or lose it, another bonus. Locking wheel nut is safely stored in the wheel well with aforementioned items.

There's an app for that!  ;D

I have a 117 page audio manual for the mighty Signum, and even a 76 page one for the Corsa.

For the Mexican I get SFA except a note in the general handbook to use the app on the touchscreen for more information. I have and it is utter crap.

I'm still none the wiser. :-\ Nothing new there though. ;D

This sort of thing really boils my piss. We spend £20,000 plus and we don't even get a jack or spare wheel. >:(

Yes. All the polystyrene shite from the boot and the bottles of glue that end in the bin must be killing the planet in some way.
The space saver did weigh a fair bit, so she will probably lose about 0.1 mpg now. Oh well  ;D

Here's a pic from the site it was advertised on, just for you, Opti  :)
