please? Its basically to find out the length I need to make up a "support" for my boot floor now I have nothing actually in the wheel well besides the battery. The floor keeps dipping into the well at the edges, particularly at the bootlid end.

About 7.5inches in height

grrr, i had that all out the boot today to put some air into the spare, should have asked earlier !

About 7.5inches in height

Cool - Gives me the chance to make my first draft now Fit tomorrow

Is that definitely spare wheel and the jack kit box sat in it? I know the box sits proud a good way and spare wheel width is about 6"

The 14'' spare steel is 6'', and the 16'' spare steel is 6.5'' add about 1/2 for the kit box and the 7.5'' should give you room for error

Well, I now have a 7.5" tube to try out in the morning. Got another 4 feet of tube to play with though.

Is it me, or does the above sound incredibly rude!

Well I've just measured mine and it's 225mm from the recess base to the top of the box - that's nearly 9 inches. Go get a new tube!

It's pointless quoting the wheel width because that's measured internally - the actual external wheel width is greater by the thickness of the rims and the tyre's wider still - about 210mm
