I may regret it but have got a Q3 for my wife. I have a space save wheel to put in it because I simply cant have cars out with no spare!
Can anybody advise if the standard alloy wheel bolts will suit the space saver? I know in some cases steel wheels need shorter bolts to prevent them fouling on the inside of the hub.
If I do need 5 more...what do I need?

Maybe there is a reason that Diesel accounted for 6% of new car registrations in the first half of this year? Diesel is done.

Diesel is done. yes I would not want a newer diesel than the ones we run...circa 10 plus years old, with the extra stuff like add blue etc etc. But for a few more years while technology sorts out they offer us inexpensive cars that cover many miles...usually!
