LPG Tank and spare wheel?

<< < (2/3) > >>

datalas:
you don't need a spare for the MOT, just if you have one it must be in a servicable condition...

didn't spot them not noticing my spare is a different size :)  the benefits of having a mud-club wheel cover I guess :)

Range Rover Blues:
That's right, you don't have to have one but you can't have a f***d one, if it's fitted as a spare it must be roadworthy, if it isn't leave it loose, it's luggage!
In the RRC you can't fit a tyre bigger than 205 into the spare holder anyway, not without modifying the floor so I'm putting an upright LPG tank in there and doing without a spare for all but long journeys, when I'll tie it to the dog-guard.  When I'm towing it goes in the trailer.

hobbit:
You could always mount one on the front, like the Pink Panther series 3's and some of the military defenders have, would look different though

:? If he doesnt use it for greenlaneing etc, if i was him ide take it back to the company who installed the l.p.g tank and ask them if they could exchange it for a sill type tank therefore he can use the spare wheel recess again. If the gas kit was fitted before he purchased the Rangie the cost of fitting a under belly tank shouldnt be that much. And it would look better than haveing a swingaway wheel carrier on the rear.
But thats just my opinion... :D

Garth:
I,ve got a 90 ltr tank across the back.  Theory being how often do you fill the boot (back) No sill tanks to worry about and still have spare wheel space.  However I do agree with RRB about this run flat stuff (if its good enough for the Paris Dakar)
