So I got this new-to-me 2014 MCC Justa; a) I don't have run-flat tires, and b) no spare tire. I have attached a picture of my spare tire area ... what is missing from the picture??

Thanks.

 

lol..the spare tire is missing...i dont think they come with a spare! i have bought and sold more than 4 minis, non had a spare. i also have a countryman S ALL4. it doent have one either.

 

Then shouldn't it have come with run-flats? I traded my 2013 R56 MC Justa and it had a donut spare....

 

you might be correct in that they come stock with runflats, but perhaps the dealer or previous owner replaced tires? also, notice that there are no straps to keep the spare in place.
I think the safest thin to do, it maybe buying a tire plug tool and a pump just in case.

 

Lift up that black foam tool carrier and see if the spare is under. Mine has one deeper down under that foam.

 

OhMyGawd I feel so stupid!!!! Thanks pkunk.

That was it ... under the foam.

Sooooo can anyone tell me what is missing from that foam carrier?

 

Seems noone has an idea.. Mine is a '08 so different layout than yours. Keep bumping this to the top and maybe you'll get an answer

This isnt your car, but that site will have the tool pics, enter your vin.

 

That really doesn't answer his question as to what's missing in his pic

 

Going to a website that has oem pics and diagrams of the parts of his car would seem to be a perfect solution to answering his question. Don't get your point at all.

 

Thanks for the idea Minnie. I went to that site and entered my VIN. Unfortunately it gave me a diagram of an equipment carrier different from mine. (Can't upload pic with my ipad)

There has to be someone on this forum with a '14 Clubman Justa who can post a pic of theirs.

 

The bits that are missing are really only wheel option tools, the one hole is for a wheel lock key and the other is for a "Z" shaped tool.

But as stated above; the spare should be under the black foam tray in a base Clubman, they are not equipped on the S but can be added to via aftermarket, we stock and sell spare tire and tray kits for those who either have S cars or had been robbed of the spare prior to ownership.

Thanks nkfry. I did find the spare under the foam. Hard to believe the large area in the center was unused. I imagined it contained an air compressor or something like that.

 

The missing tool on the right is the Allen key for emergency closing of a soft top/sun roof.

 

The round storage area is designed for the Mini jumper cables, which come (came) in a round bag. I have another set of jumpers, also in a round bag.

 

Thanks Perry - that's exactly what I had planned to put there!
