Thanks for that Scrogg, much appreciated.
I find it bizarre that he was able to spec the car with the space saver on the dealer system and invoice me for it too in light of the PDF. Not sure whether to say nothing and see what happens when the car arrives or ask the question now. Having spoken to the salesman today over another matter he confirmed that the order was in place and the car should be ariving on time but never mentioned any problems in the spec I ordered.
I'll be a little disappointed if its not there and on the basis of your PDF i'm resigned to the fact that it wont be. I've never actually used it on either of my Mini's but its always been peace of mind for me on my late night drives to and from Norfolk that if something went seriously wrong in the tyre department I could get home without relying on Mini Assistance if I had a spare of some sort.
I hated it when manufacturers started putting space savers in instead of full size spares and now find it bizarre that in the interests of space a lot of manufacturers seem to think a puncture repair kit is enough to get you home but i'll step off my soap box before I start
Funny really as on my current Mini, the dealer I first approached to but it from told me I couldn't order a space saver with 16" wheels on the car. I never bought from them in the end yet the dealer I did buy from ordered it no questions asked. I wish MINI would stop changing their mind on if you can or can't have one
Thanks again
