Got a puncture yesterday and now got the spare space saver on. Is it OK to drive around on until I get it sorted later on tomorrow? I have to be at uni early tomorrow morning so I won't really have the time to sort it beforehand.
NB: Make sure your wheel nuts are not overt-tightened, otherwise you'll find out the hard way like I did.

I think it should be ok but dont be like the idiots i see on the motorway going 70mph or faster with one on :scared: Some people have a death wish

Untill tommorrow for pottering around yes :happy2: As above, some people are mental :stupid:

For safety reasons, put the space saver on the rear regardless of what tyre has a puncture. :smiley:
Additionally make sure the space saver has the correct 61psi of pressure.

Many thanks for the replies. Yep the back tyre was the puncture, but I know that they should go to the back :happy2:
I don't intend on driving over the stated limit of 50MPH :signLOL:

I would've preferred one of those yesterday rather than effing about with nuts that can't be undone by hand, although the space saver has bought me some valuable time to get a better deal, so I'll hold out on that offer :signLOL:
