Thanks for info re Mk!! Carrier. Regarding the comments on this subject about price I have been quoted £96 + VAT by Ford but, since this car is actually a VW Sharan I rang VW and was quoted £185 + VAT and SEAT (same as Alhambra) quoted £195 + VAT so actually, although this bracket shouldn't break in the first place at least Ford are only half the price.

My Galaxy Spare wheel carrier seems to have gone the way of all of them. Whose idea was it to use plastic parts to hold such a heavy wheel in place. Has anyone any idea where to get one other than a main dealer? I could try a scrap yard but, since mine has broken the first time it has been moved in 6+ years the one in the scrap yard is probably just waiting to break.
