Just parked up and about to ramp off-side .... luckily on tarmac..
Noticed front wheel was "flatter" on bottom than it should be....
Mmm!.. my first puncture.... I thought.. no probs I can do that!..
So I decide to get the jack under before it goes totally flat...
Had to flick through german handbook looking for a picture of jack points... success..
Next job - remove underslung spare...
Looked for more pics... success...
Then it became apparent that the supplied "tool" for removing spare would not fit in orrifice... as there is "extra" chassis in the way!!.. Oh Please!!
So I then searched my paperwork for camper assist - so now they're sorting it .... hopefully within the next hr!..
Edit: Update.... RAC couldn't get spare off either!!.. He tried with a 10 mm allen key (too big) then next size down - until I pointed out that the Fiat tool only had 5 sides and not 6.. (anti theft I guess)...
So plan B ensued... he's done a temp plug after removing a screw... with a recommedation of getting a new tyre because of location near edge...
I now need to find a tyre company tomorrow... who'll have a matching tyre ... Vanco Camper...
No doubt it'll be "top dollar" for one tyre..
And then bend someones ear about the spare being about as much use as a spare "do-dar" at a wedding!!!
