My wheelbrace is hiding

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.

in an estate, it's in the driver's side storage cubbyhole.
hatchback and it's clamped against the boot lip, on the driver's side of it.

Can't beat your own breaker bar with a deep socket. I have the same one for the last 6 cars....I take it from one car to the next

Yep, these are brilliant, I bought mine from Wilkinsons for £2.50!

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

Weld a nut to the cradle hook bolt and job sorted
