    Spare Wheel Pressure

    Before I go crawling under the car to look, can anyone advise if you can put air in the spare whilst still in place, without dropping it from the car?

    Been getting an alarm since the cold weather arrived, looks like it needs a top-up.

    You may be lucky depending on wheel design, it's stored face up so you have to get through the spoke gaps to get at the valve. You'll need 50psi in the spare to avoid triggering the low pressure alert.

    Plus, if you've got a security plate you have no chance.

    My trick is to have the spare wheel valve pointing to the rear, then you can drop the wheel a bit and access it without removing it. Works for me anyway.
