  5. All good I did have a genuine problem that was scaring the sh*t out of me but this site has actually solved a problem that tyre professionals and mechanics couldnt so im fine with a bit of smartarse at least I got a real saftey problem sorted so thanku I do really appreciate everyones help and it was the space saver being too small so I will get a propper wheel this week...
  6. Thanks for all your advice it certainly sounds like the wrong size wheel and its the brakes that catch fire so what you guys are saying certainly makes sense to me but really u would think that two garages and two professional tyre plAces such as mag and turbo warehouse and cats tyres in kaiapoi would know that sort of knowledge but they were all just no never heard of it they all saw the space saver tooo
  7. Team Hutchison ford told me that they handle up to twenty five inch mags after the last fire I thought I'd make sure they could handle my twenty inch mags so I rang them to ask
  8. That's interesting Paulie maybe that is the reason although I bought the car off the Forman at Avon city ford I'd hope he'd know if he had the wrong space saver for the car it's been to two garages insurance company assessors who took it to a break place and no one has suggested that that could be the problem but thanks il mention it to Avon city ford to check it out, I just want to know my car won't go on fire for a third time as its doing my head in lol
  9. Apparently it's the space saver and something to do with the cars computer skid traction getting confused because one wheel is going faster than the other so it try's to brake on the space saver, I have had it towed to Avon city ford in Christchurch to see what the problem is although they said over the phone it will be the space saver I do have twenty inch mags on but space savers are meant to handle twenty five inch mags.....but I just don't see why they issue them if they give the computer system in the skid traction grief enough to cause fire
  10. First time I had my two children in the car got a fat on the way to school a month ago the garage put my space saver on within bout three ks we were on fire the local mechanics said they hadn't seen anything like it it was so hot it changed the colour of the iron underneath to a particular colour that meant it was really really hot it burnt out all my breaks completely melted them. I don't know a lot about cars, and this morning when I got a flatly the tyre service company came out changed it I drove about one k and was on fire again luckily my friend was following me and tooted for me to pull over, I am a mum and my two children are too frightened to go in the car anymore. I don't even know what power skids are but I was only doing fourty k an hour
  11. I do not recommend using a space saver I have a 2007 xr6 turbo both times I have used the space saver it has caused a fire something to do with the skid traction computer thinking that one wheel is going too fast or something my latest fire was today after putting a space saver on, I don't think ford should issue these space savers when they cause fires its very scary
