Volvo V70 full size spare - Martin Wall
Hi - does anybody know how to get a full size spare wheel (16") into the spare wheel well in a new model Volvo V70? The brochure stated that a 16" wheel would fit but not a 17", but I can't seem to get it to fit - the battery seems to get in the way....I don't want to be driving around with only the skinny space-saver as a spare.

Please help!

Apparently you can only fit it in if you let the tyre down first............

Doh!!

Only joking...

Finally worked out late last night that I needed to unbolt part of the rear flooring using the spanner I found in the toolkit! (No mention of this in the handbook however....)
