Rear door spare wheel carrier
William:
Well that seems fair enough if you can fit it in a car park! how exactly does it work, do you open the wheel carrier then the door or do they both work in tandem? And also where is it fixed to? thanks again

Mines opesn with the rear door,
Ben:
The more expensive ones swing with the rear door. Paddocks do a much cheaper one which you have to open separately.
If you need the door opening from the inside, then you ought to really be going for one which opens with the door, like the Mantec one (which is about £235).
The Paddocks one is about £75+vat, but only ok if you never need to open the door from the inside...
Paddock's Version
Mantec's Version
Hope this helps! There are other versions of the Mantec one which are a bit cheaper (Scorpion do one I think, as do a few other places - some with a hi-lift mount as well)
I think the links in my signature should take you through to when I fitted one to my previous 90 - it fitted to a side opening "drop" tailgate...
Cheers
Ben

Thanks alot for your help mate, yes it has helped greatly. I think i shall just replace the rear hinges and fix a wheel carrier direstly onto the back door like the photographs illustrate. it should be fine for what i want. But i shall see because if i stumble on a swing away type at the right price i shall buy it and use it. :lol: thanks again lads much appreciated :lol:
