Hi Trevor
my vehicle has stickers in two different places saying " this vehicle is fitted with a spare wheel lock" well as far as I know that was a Citroen fitted lock. (Expensive as well) Well all it is to the best of my knowledge is a hole in the boot floor and a bolt with a wheel nut which goes into the spare wheel. Mine was not there when I bought it.
For the price quoted for supply and fitting they are having a laugh:censored:

I know that is not a lot of help but if it prevents you from getting ripped off by the dealers it will have done it's job.

I use a cycle cable lock wound through the spare and carrier frame, In a rubble sack to keep it clean!
Is a good deterrent for the oppurtunist I think?
Also ensure the valve is facing upwards so that the tyre cannot be slightly deflated and removed from the carrier by the light fingered

Thank you for the replies. I have the Citroen 'bolt through the boot floor' type on my 2003 HDi which secures it, but of course leaves a bolt head proud. I am about to order a new Mulitspace and dont fancy the idea of that again. I think I may go the the cycle chain method this time.

I too use the cycle cable lock method, also threaded through the "chassis" to make it that bit more difficult for the thieving scum out there.
