This is the Skoda kit in my wife's Leon ST. It'll fit inside a 16'' wheel and above. There are a few different kits that will work but this one is the best as it the good additional space for extra items.

Any modern VWG jack will work as all of cars are built on the same MBQ platform.

Brilliant thanks. A bit off topic have you ever upgraded the lights on a MK3 pre facelift from yellow to white bulbs I know there has been mentions of LEDs but nothing about the daytime running lights can't seem to find any info or get answer. Thought I would ask as you seem to know a lot about the cars

No, sorry, I don't know anything about that. All of our cars have had LED lights.

Just to confirm, having both my previous hatchback and current ST estate models. Hatch will only take a 125 width spacesaver without it sitting proud of the boot floor, but the estate will take a full size spare. I have a full size matching 225/45/17 inch alloy and a Skoda tool kit sitting in the spare in my estate and it fits perfectly with the floor lying in the correct place. Yes I know the insert is actually for a 16 inch, but its secure enough when strapped in, the tools are all the same, and I'm not replacing like for like just so it fits more snugly!

16 inch alloy with the Skoda Octavia foam and kit. Quite hard to find, I managed to get a brand new one from Czech Republic from a Skoda parts site delivered for €76 which I thought was pretty good and arrived fairly quickly. Big thanks to @Mr Pig for the info.

That's the one you want. There are a couple of different kits but this one is best because it comes with a better jack. This jack is stronger than the 'half' scissor jack other kits have.

@d_taddei2 what's the boot liner that matches the side trims you've got in there? Been looking for something similar for mine since I got the car, thanks

The pre-facelift ST came with the carpet boot well liner. One of cost cutting things they did on the facelift was remove that. You'll get one off a pre-facelift car. There is also a trim piece at the back of the boot under the seats, you're missing that too.

Thanks for that, will have a look for one

I have the space saver spare that was fitted from new in my 64 plate FR hatchback. The spare tyre size is T125/70R16. The jack and tools sit in a foam insert to the left of the spare,
