Could you get a small scissor jack, wrap it in something and tuck it under the spare wheel maybe? As the car is so light you might be able to find a really small one.
But you're right, for MMC to design and sell a car that can't carry the means of changing a wheel shows just how out of touch they are with people who like to drive long distances.
Thanks for the feedback Tim - much appreciated. It may well solve the problem albeit the problem should not have existed in the first place. As you say I don't think anybody with long distance touring experience had any inout into the design of the CX cars. I wrote to Steve Morris on the subject last year specifically regarding the lack of internal storage facilities e.g. door pockets.He said that there were things in the pipeline and in fairness the internal lock box is now available. Pity I was blissfully unaware that the tool provision and storage space I had enjoyed in both my Plus 4 and Roadster have now gone. I never thought about asking. That would be like asking a hotel is they provided toilet paper when you make a booking ;-)
Best regards,
John
