Hi , I have recently purchased a 2008 tdv8 with 20inch v spoke alloys unfortunately no spare wheel , can anyone tell me the exact size spare wheel would have originally come with the car , or sizes that would be ok to use , many thanks

Hi ,I've got a 2007 and my spare is 20in v spoke.

Check that the spare wheel winch is in good condition too. If the spare was stolen then the winch might have been left in a broken state - the wheel is stolen by cutting the winch cable. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi , just replaced the winch ( no problem easy job ) and got my eye on a space saver wheel with tyre 175/80/19 advertised as a replacement for my car . Just want to ask the experts first ( you guys ) so as I don't cause a prob with the diff if I ever have to use it to get home , thanks

If you have an alloy wheel as a spare it isn't the original spare. They come with a black steel wheel of a 5 spoke design and are 19". If you fit a 20" normal wheel it becomes too visible below the bumper. I will have a look tomorrow and get you tyre size. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Mine came like that when I bought it, now you mention it you can see a bit of the wheel but I can't say I noticed it before. Either way ALFIE I would search the forum for wheel protector i got one from RLD he's a site supporter and its a great bit of kit.

The 19 inch black wheel I have my eye on is original spare wheel but from a 2012 sport , is this ok to put on my 2008 tdv8 hse ,tyre size on the spare is 175/80/19 I assume it will fit as I've referred to the landrover spec list for my car which states the spare is a 19/8 space saver wheel . Alfie

I'm guessing you've got your eye on one from eBay

Problem with that is that it was more than likely nicked from some unsuspecting RRS/Disco owner.
