Ours is a full size 19" steel - looks massive when you lift the cover... FL2 TD4 XS manual, XS style pack, Martinique Blue

Hi Guys,

I took this issue up with LR Engineering and the answer they gave was the wheel bolts are Alloy wheel type - they have a different seat taper from the steel wheel ones - other manufacturers - Merc and Vaukhall give another set of bolts for use with the spare wheel. My car has 17" alloys and was to come with a 17" steel one - still labelled for 50mph. I got all the answers already mentioned at the dealers and the LR experience guys - when LR gave me a support person (she called me up from LR) I asked her to get the correct answer and it was the wheel bolts.

Yeh, well, ok, LR - what about having given us steel wheel bolts for the spare - wouldn’t have cost much more than the sticky labels on the 50mph wheel

Sorry I don’t buy that one - there must be another reason unless of course LR couldn’t trust us to use the correct bolts when doing a wheel swap
