Thread: Disco 3 spare wheel release.

    Smile Disco 3 spare wheel release.

    Accessing the spare requires unloading the cargo, raising the rearmost seats, un-clipping the rubber dust cover and winding down the spare with the 22mm wheel brace.
    I have modified my car by fitting a 22mm socket then 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch step-down connector, punching a neat hole through the rubber dust cover to take the connector and screwing down the dust cover to prevent it turning.
    The connector can then be accessed between the undisturbed seats using a 1/4 inch extension bar on a socket spanner.
    Here endeth the lesson.

    Thanks for that - I appreciate the lesson.

    Now go away and work out how to put air in the spare without having to drop it down .

    Cheers

    Quite a few here have done something similar. I put on a spare wheel carrier solves lots of problems.

    Oh come on - a Sport would never be seen with a wheel carrier on the back.
