you want to convert it to run on smelly gas, i can get 2 tanks of gas for less than that which would do me for 850 miles. Towing that plastic box would be cheaper too  :y

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  ;) I like having use of my boot  :y  :y

Speak to Chrisgixer, he has spare wheel tank setup in his  :y

I'd be really ****ed if I got a flat while towing & no spare.  ;)  ;)  ;) A can of goo won't rebuild a side wall  :y

Lob it in the plastic ally box  :)

Thought it was illegal not to carry a serviceable spare wheel in your car.

I sometimes read some of posts of a holier than thou caravan forum (I can't post anymore cos I told them what I thought of them  ::)) and one forum member bought himself a 'fullsize' spare that he carried in his rear footwell because an Omega only has a 'space saver'  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?

Not illegal to have NO spare, but if you do it has to be legal.  ;)

I could if I was prepared to fork out to gas my car, but with the milage I do in it (5000 miles last year) I don't think it'd be worth the expence  ;)

Eh!? Its full size, recall issues in people sourcing a space saver that fits Omega  :-/

Carvanners eh? Silly people  ;D

Must admit boot is an issue, taking cat section to be welded by the master, i thought right, i'll take this, pop the rear seat down...... ah....... bugger!

Would a spare saver fit in the front storage on Van with other spare and gas bottle ect?

I have failed to fill the tank at Asda in the past due to a (then) £85 limit (its a purely pay-at-pump station at MK). Price has eased now, and is 113,9p, though the pay-at-pump limit has been raised to £99

Fart gas is working well for me - yes I do miss the boot, but in fairness only really needed it 2 or 3 times a year.  I bought a gay roofbox for these occassions.
