stred Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) hi all i have a mk2 galaxy that ive had for a year just had the mot done, just needed a couple of rear springs, while i was under there i thought id investigate the spare wheel carrier......... the car has no spare but ive decided to get one as we have a couple of long trips coming up, ive not got a problem with storing it in the boot but its usually full of pushchairs and other kid related items, so i removed the carrier simple job........ i would like to fix it, but the problem is the wire protrudes out of the carrier but the part u place under the wheel is missing, the wire has been snapped or cut off, without this missing part it cant be repaired id guess. are the mk1 and mk2 carriers interchangeable? or has anyone got the missing part so i can go about using the guide i found on this site to reattach and get some new cable, or is a new one the only option? thanks in advance scott Edited May 18, 2011 by stred Quote
