Where can I get a spare wheel for my Audi A1?
I am purchasing an Audi A1 1.4 TFSI Sportback that, as you will know, does not come with a spare wheel. The Audi dealer can provide a spare but has quoted £300. This seems to me to be excessive. Do you know of any independent suppliers that I could contact?

Try My Tyres (bit.ly/2I7N1bv) ; www.tyremen.co.uk ; www.wheelwright.co.uk. Personal experience has taught me that tyre repair kits supplied with new cars do not work at all on anything bigger than a pinprick, but using them does render the tyre unrepairable. So it's far better to get a space-saver and take the punctured tyre to a tyre depot where it may be possible to repair it.
