- puncture spare wheel tyres
Absolutely not. Far too near the edge. The repair needs to sit flat. Fingers crossed it hasn’t actually gone in.
It’s a 50-50. Good luck
there is a slot at the bottom, so it doesnt pull back out.

no, there is a slot in the top of the Auger and the string gathers up on the inside and then you twist the auger and it just pulls out leaving the string.
Having dropped my spare wheel to get to bumper fixing I struggled to get it back It was so heavy. Which lead me to think would I be able to do it at the roadside— answer probably not. So I’ve bought one of these instead.

Anyone else dumped their spare?

Funny as I was thinking the same only the other day. My spare is there but it would be no use as I am on 20’s.
Be interesting to see what everyone’s thoughts are, especially if you have larger aftermarket wheels fitted.
No, but have got / used the repair kit. . .

Using it as a handle to put the cage back?
I don’t either @Dellmassive, so spill the beans ….. ?
I assume you carry a compressor too?
I carry my spare wheel but I also have a kit similar to yours, which I have used in an emergency, but I then needed to reflate the tyre, which was almost totally flat. The 12V compressor that I carry was fine for that, and I knew that the cable would reach the rear wheel.
this . . . .
goes in here . . .
as a lever to lift up the heavy spare wheel.
basically a long bat that adds leverage . . . to lift it up./

not done it myself . . .
but noticed it the other day when i had out the tyre doing the tow bar install . .

I use that method or it's far too heavy without the extra leverage
i never knew . . . over 10years Transporter ownership,
and probably over 20 spare wheel changes. . . !!!
no told me, and its not in the owner guide either.

i just saw the tyre support bar . . . and thought,
why would they press that steel into that shape? - it looks like it takes a bar or something.?
then the penny dropped.
