    Mounting amplifier in spare wheel well - is it safe?

    I might get one of these StealthBoxz - can't bring myself to buy the amp box too it is just too expensive to get both. I was thinking of removing the spare wheel mounting the amp in the spare wheel well. Is this ok, will the amp overheat under the carpet?

    Driving on a space saver spare wheel. 50mph?

    Ran over something this morning which has burst one of my tyres so I'm driving on a space saver at the moment. New tyre is on order for tomorrow. I've left the manual at home so I'm not sure what allowances I should make. A colleague has said I shouldn't go above 50mph. Is that correct? Thanks

  9. Spare Key & Immobiliser

    Hi, I've just found my spare key for my car after it was safely stored after I got the car (4 years ago :hide: ) and went to use it and it didnt deactivate the immobiliser. I'm guessing this is because a long time ago the clocks were changed under warranty because the speedo was sticking...
  10. Spare Oil

    Just picked up my FR TDi a few days ago and remembered when I bought my Golf, I also got a VW bag with a bottle of oil in the boot. Are you supposed to get this with the Leon? Also, does the Leon have a low oil level warning like the Golf?

  16. Spare Wheel

    Didn't notice when I bought my car but it didn't come with a spare, just a expanding foam and compressor kit. Does anyone know where you can get hold of a spare wheel, as I am not convinced about relying on a can of foam. Penfold
