Just bought a RR TD6 for the wife and we are delighted with it so far !

I know it has its haters but we have found it to be perfectly capable.

I do have a couple of issues though and I wonder if anyone can help:

1) The wheels are upgraded 19' LR wheels but the spare is 18' (I take it I can't put the 18' on if we have a puncture) is this normal ?

2) The venture cam isn't working (see other post)

I will try and post some pics soon

Regards

The 18s are 255/60 and the 19s are 255/55 so the rolling diameter is almost identical at 763.2 and 763.1mm respectively - I wouldn't worry if you had to put the 18 on as a spare for a while.

Alternatively keep your eye on Ebay as 19s often come up there pretty cheaply.

Enjoy the comfort - lovely cars

Not uncommon to have different sized spares - particularly in cars with those gow awful bicycle wheel space savers. Wifey's old 9-3 Cabrio a few years back had 17" wheels and a 15" spare... Wasn't particularly fun to drive on, but it got us home.
