Should my car have a Jack?

[PhilOfCas]

Hi all,

recently bought a 2012 Ibiza, it has no spare wheel and has the puncture repair kit instead, question is whether it should still have a jack (and a wheel brace for that matter)?

Thank you

No,

Took it out to save cost,

You'll have a pump and bottle of filler, can fill up from a puncture.


If your tyre's sliced, you are ****ed though.

Unless it was ordered from new with a spare wheel, I don't think you get a Jack or wheel brace. Stupid in my opinion.
Seat have an offer on at the moment £145 gets you a spare wheel, jack and tool kit, worth it in my view.

 

[LJA]

It really is separate parts price comes to £245 i think!

 

[Biker]

No, as I said Seat have a promotion running at the moment. I got a flier sent to my house, the price is £145 for the whole lot. Have a look on the Seat web site at the latest accessories brochure, it is listed in there at £145 to.

I bought mine And only few months later (when I was swapping tyres) I realised. Had no jack, I went back said I had a strange query and they ordered a new jack in and I took one out of a dealer demo for free. Pays to ask
Huddersfield seat- always great service.

Thanks Jay, I did ask and they said they don't come with a jack and that was it :-(

I know Spain is skint, but this penny-pinching is going to end up with customers going elsewhere IMO....

Have things recently changed with these puncture repair kits? It used to be that tyre fitting centres frequently refused to repair tyres that had been filled with repair fluid/foam....

Happy to stand corrected on this one!

Not supplying a jack is the norm these days, in recent months two friends have experienced this. One bought an Alfa Mito the other a Mazda 6, both were told the same " you didn't spec a Jack/spare wheel"

That's worrying! Wonder if the tyre fitting centres will be jumping for joy????

Oh and I know this is sorta off-topic for this thread, but the Procee'd comes with a spare tyre, brace and jack! lol
