My wheelbrace is hiding

Post by davewithington »

Look, stupid really, but I can't find a wheelbrace in this car.

the handbook says it's in the boot, on the right hand side, but can't seem to lay my hands on it.

Guidance please.

But compared with the original item not a lot of use in dropping the wheel cradle!
