Trying to source spare wheel kit

GIMP

New car no spare, I am looking for advice on where to source a space saver tyre, jack, etc. A couple of uk sites supply but won't ship to Ireland and a few Irish based ones are charging over 300e which is too much. I wouldn't consider a spare off a crashed car. Any advice would be welcome.

My first piece of advice is to give the make and model of car.

Why wouldn't you consider a spare wheel from a crashed car?

You can get a jack and wheelbrace in any good motor factors, and as 1998 said, there’s nothing wrong with a spare wheel from a crashed car.

…as long as it wasn't on it at the time of the crash! 😁

If you're really concerned, just replace the tyre.

hhmmm?

Thanks , I already checked them out but they charge 300eplus which is nuts.

The reason I am not favouring a full sized wheel is that it won't fit in the wheel well, I have already measured the space, the smaller compact spare will fit.

A breakers yard will gladly sell ya a perfect possibly even unused space saver, jack and brace kit. For probably a third or less the price of a new kit.

You can easily check the condition and age of the kit too so it's a no brainer to me.
