Hello Guys,
I bought a used car recently and it has the spare tyre.
However, it did not come with a scissor jack and the rest of the bits needed there with(wheel brace?).
I know SCA sells one for 50 dollars.
But, I was wondering if I should go for a genuine hyundai part? Also where can I buy one?
Ebay sellers I found do not ship to Australia.
Or any other suggestions are welcome as well.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
AJ
Ohh, I did check when I bought the car.
Will double check though.
Thanks for your response.
Have you got roadside assist? Will you be travelling far from home?
If it was my car, travelling not too far from home I'm not sure I'd bother. Haven't had a flat that required immediate change of tyre for years. I've had a few slow leaks that you could get away with topping up until home or at the tyre joint. However I do have a compressor and trolley jack at home that I can change a tyre with if I get up in the morning to find a flat tyre. If taking it on a long trip I would borrow the jack from our other car, or chuck the trolley jack in.
Murphy's Law would probably kick in though if I didn't have a jack in the car.
Wouldn't it need a jack to pass roadworthy?
EDIT: Turns out you don't need a jack (or a spare tire… at least in Vic)
Ring around some wreckers. They aren't always that cheap though.
Are you 100% sure it's missing the scissor jack? I have an older accent and it's secured just next to the spare. You have to 'unwind' it to get it out.
