brilliant - I'm thinking about buying an e4orce x-trail, and one of my biggest concerns is that you can't order it with any type of spare tyre

There will be plenty on ebay, make sure the diameter of your original tyre is within 3% of the spacesaver tyre. Obviously get the correct pcd for the wheel nuts/bolts and the centre bore too.

@DaveBence Hi Dave, sorry for the late reply. So my original tyres are 235 50 19 and my Dunlop space saver is 155/90/17 followed by 101M. Hope this helps you. Steve.

@@stiggertoot Thanks for the reply Steve. I'm surprised that a 17" wheel will fit over the big brakes on the front of the E Power Qashqai. Have you checked that it does fit?

@@DaveBence thanks for that Dave, I just measured and you're correct, it wont go over the large front brakes but it'll go over the rear brakes ok. I'll look out for an 18" spare and check the clearance and and swap it over. Good job I kept the gunge in the boot space in case of emergencies 😂😂😂. Thanks again buddy. Steve.

@@stiggertoot Hi Steve. I now have a 18" spare wheel with 145/80R18 tyre, bought from The Wheel Shop for £150 inc. delivery and VAT (wheel and tyre only, I already had a jack and wheel brace). It fits nicely in the boot well and does fit over the bigger (350mm) discs used on the front of e Power models. Mine is the N-Connecta version with 235/55R18 as standard. Thanks again for the video. Regards, Dave.

I can tell you my mpg. Its far more economical in town's and the countryside than on a 70mph dual carriageway. I live in a little village, first thing I do, into D mode then pull it back again into B mode. Select Eco then switch the Blue epower on, it chargers the batteries up a lot faster this way. Its amazing how many times the engine stops and runs on battery only. You can have this constantly displayed on the dash screen, I personally have mpg displayed but it's only 1 arrow switch to have a different display. So, mpg, I reset the mpg and left the centre of the city and drove home, 7 miles, had lunch then drove out to a place called Haddo House, it's all country roads, it averaged 54.3mpg over the 18 mile journey. I then used a dual carriageway to return home, the mpg dropped to 46mpg. I've only done mixed runs since then, country and dual carriageways, its staying at 46mpg , that's because it hardly uses the brakes to regenerate the batteries when on straughter faster roads. So countryside, and not fast runs I get around 54 mpg, mixed runs fast and slow around 46mpg. Hope this is useful.

Many thanks, very useful - on my test drives I used eco mode but not b mode too, and seemed to get 39mpg on the motorway (steady 70 using cruise control) but over 50mpg tootling around on the country lanes. Note, i have the opposite of a heavy right foot...

Good to know. We will run this around Westhill and in and out of Aberdeen. Do you use the e-pedal?

@HughRapson Hi, yes,sorry I called it Epower but I mean Epedal. As soon as I set off I put the pedal ( Blue switch) on. Apart from regenerating the battery faster and only using the gas pedal to speed up and slow down the brake pads and discs will last far longer than normal . So I start up, pull gear selector back twice so B shows, pull the little rocker switch back to Eco mode and switch on Epower/Pedal, I leave them all on in the City and the countryside.

Hi, so I've had to get a larger wheel because it wouldn't quite go over the front brake caliper. I now have a 125x70x19 in the same space. I got it from The Wheel shop, Middleton Manchester, he sells them with free postage. Sorry for the delay in replying. Best regards, Steve Fletcher.

Thanks for the update. I want to buy a 2nd hand spacer. Canbyou advise on the stud spacings and diameter? That would be a great help. Thanks. Keith.

@keithwhite-h1p stud spacing are 5 x 114.3. Centre bore is 66.1mm. Offset is 40 or 45 but it doesn't give an offset on the spare. If you look at my other replies on this clip I put an address of a wheelseller that sells the 19" space savers for the qashqai in Manchester, I think it was £165. It fits easily into the space beneath the 2 boot boards and the Sub woofer sits on top of the space saver. Regards Steve

It's simple, out with the two boards. Undo the finger tight nut in the centre of the Subwoofer, move the Subwoofer to the left side, then my frame just lifts out, undo the plastic nut holding the wheel down and lift the wheel out. Takes less than 1 minute.
