Hi all,

A pal has a 68 reg A3, and had an un-repairable ( if that is a word !) puncture on his way back from a family holiday in the UK. And as his car only has that limited use can of goo in the car, he had to have the car recovered all the way home, which was most inconvenient.

Needless to say, the car has no spare....but it has the OEM sub woofer ( I assume that what is sitting in the wheel well under the carpet...! )

1) He wanted me to find out ( he is not a PH person) if the older space-saver spare wheel/jack kit etc would fit in the boot in place of the sub?

2) and my question would also be...if the sub is disconnected, would the car audio still work ?

I have seen quite a few 'kits' on the Bay of E, and my instinct is that all would be OK...

Just wondering if anyone has done this as I assume it is a fairly common issue.
