Part number needed

[vickyarcher]

Hi Guys,

Can someone help me identify a part number as my parts department at the local dealership is as good as a chocolate teapot!

I have a Cooper clubman and have decided to swap from the run-flats to standard tyres.

I went into the dealership today to get a price on the space saver wheel and tyre, At first the parts guy tried to tell me I couldn't have the space saver wheel as it wasn't available on a Cooper clubman! After arguing with him that it is an option when you order the car even if you have run-flats and that I have a large well in the boot for it to go in he gave me a price (after much clicking on his pc)
Ouch!! as a result I have ordered the wheel from them but will source the tyre from elsewhere.
The wheel is £47, then the tyre would have been £68 plus fitting and the guy didn't know how much their tyre fitter would charge.
I also asked about the Hub cap puller (the little metal ring with the bent end) and he said no such part exists, I have since found the part number for that (71 11 1 507 294) on Realoem.com.
I also want the handbolt thing that keeps the space saver wheel bolted to the floor in the clubman (there is a threaded nut in the floor of the wheel well in the clubman) but he didn't know about that either and since Realoem don't have the clubman listed I can't get the part number from there.

So does anyone know the part number for the threaded bolt that secures the space saver wheel in the boot of a clubman please.

Thanks

Hi
The number on the wheel holding nut is MINI 6781466 CZ ,I don't know if this is a part number or a manufacturing number.

I went back to pick up my space saver wheel from the dealership and made the parts muppet search through the computer for the retainer for the wheel.

It comes in 2 parts, the bolt which screws into the floor of the clubman 36 10 6 782 325
and the retainer 36 10 6 781 466

I managed to get a space saver tyre fitted for £43.95 much cheaper than the £68+VAT + fitting from the MINI dealer.

Just to say that the non-runflats making an amazing difference to the ride quality and I would definitely recommend them

What have you done with all the tools that live in the sparewheel well?

The clubman is on realoem now

With regards the polystyrene insert that was in the wheel well. I have removed this and taken all the tools/jack out of it.

I went into Halfords (a local car parts/ accessories store) and bought a fabric tool roll for £7.99 which is perfect for the MINI as it is black with orange trim, matches the MINI colourings perfectly.

This I have then placed inside the spare wheel
