Thats strange as mine has full size 22" wheel as spare and fits perfect within boot? I cant see that if you spec a space saver it would adjust the floor design?? Is there something in the base of your wheel well to make the space saver fit maybe? |

Just take out the polystyrene moulding - that's not required for a full size spare, it sits straight onto the metal floor

All spare wheel sizes have their own insert panel... If your fitting a full size spare, just take out the insert and fit the wheel |

Yes I had the space saver nightmare in France in August like you and was lucky to get a new 22 inch Pirelli tyre at Land Rover in Canterbury. I just managed to get a new black 9012 genuine LR alloy with a new Pirelli tyre on eBay for reasonable money that matches mine. I have just taken the polystyrene spacer out and it fits perfectly. 2019 Autobiography SDV8 Byron blue/black - current
