I'm probably gonna look pretty stupid for asking this question.... but

got a nail in one of my tyres so gonna take it off to get it repaired and thought i'd stick on the spare while i take it in...but
erm..... this is where i look stupid...... where is the spare???
cant see it anywhere obvious.
Is it mounted under the car? if so how on earth do you get to it?
If not then where?

Ok, iv'e done looking stupid now,
Thanks.

The spare is in the right rear fender well. There should be an interior body panel that comes out, this hides the spare. Oh yeah, you need to open up the rear hatch to access it.

Open the rear hatch, on the right hand side is a rounded plastic cover. The spare is under it (hopefully). To get the cover off will need to take out a couple of the large plastic screws.

P.S. Elky beat me to it, types faster then I do. . .
