Hi all
A word of warning to people who have changed from 2 pots to Subaru 4 pots.If you get a puncture the standard space-saver spare will not fit over them(well mine doesn't).
At first I thought I was fubared but realised I could still fit the spare to the rear ,then fit the rear to the front
which is a bit of a pain but better than being stuck.
I suppose it must be the same for most people with brake upgrades
Anybody know exactly what the difference is between the different space savers?

Good point. I've got AP 4-pots under 16in wheels on my MY00 car. I'll have to check the space-saver on those.
I always carry a couple of cans of that inflate and seal stuff and that has got me home before. It's not very popular with the puncture repair guys, though!
