open your boot, on the righthand side there is a flap in the carpet, lift it up, insert brace from left of boot and turn it until the cage lowers down ;)

go to the boot, pull back the material cover and there is a big round knut with two slits in it making it into a conventional screw. get the jack from the rear strut and the bottom end of the jack fits that "screw" i described. just put it in and turn it and it lowers the cradle holding the spare wheel.....

hmmmm, dont think i have one, checked the boot lol... is it a special tool?

[Scott-16v!]

they're not really special, if you've got a big flat screwdriver that would work.
They come with mk1's as standard, somebody obviously kept yours :)

thanks for the help, finally got the little blighter off, was seized on to the hook the frame..... good old twatting with a hammer sorted it! lol

cheers for the help, now a little bit more weight removed!

get rid of the frame and hook aswell if ure not running a spare, oh and the jack and brace, no point carrying those about either.

[samboRT]

how'd i get rid of the frame, had a look, but couldnt see anything to get it off by?

cheers, dont worry the jack is already out!

it should just unhook from underneath with a bit of playin/jiggling around.
