its quite common. If you just work the screw up and down a few times usign plenty of wd-40 it will clear the rust off. |

theres plastic clip things that clip onto the bottom of the car and press against the wheel to stop it banging off the boot floor.
Lindsey why did you get them welded? They are bolt in and about a fiver from renault! In fact I have a few here you could have had! |

At that time I wasn't really doing much with the car it went into a local garage for it's MOT at which point the spare wheel was in the boot! He just did it. I might replace both of them tho cos the other one looks like it's terminal!!! That would be great if I could get a couple off you Chris, we could meet up next time I'm down the road  |
