W211 Estate spare tyre location

[mark.porthouse]

I've looked and looked on the web and I can't find the answer! (Which seems unbelievable - so there's a challenge!)

Where does the spare wheel/tyre live in a W211 estate? Also, is it a space saver or a full size spare?

Anybody got a photo?

It was upright at one side of the load area in my old W124.

I'm asking because I'm wondering about getting such a vehicle and converting it to LPG - and I prefer a doughnut tank to a cylinder taking up boot space.

Cheers,

Mark

I'ts a space saver under the boot floor. Lift the floor up and you will see a storage space. Lift up the second floor/storage space and it is under there.

Thanks SL300-24.

So, just to clarify, out of the two floor compartments, it is the one nearer the back seats (further from the tailgate)?

So that must only apply to 5 seater estates? Or do they have a full size spare there on 5 seaters and a space saver on 7 seaters?

Do you know if is a full size spare or a space saver?

Cheers,

Mark

Mark mine has 7 seats so if you lift the floor nearest to you when you open the tailagate to the upright position you can pull it out completely. Then lift the back one up as well. Then pull up the second one and it is there.

OK. So it looks pretty much like the saloon once you've burrowed down

I see that, in another thread, you state that yours has a space saver. Is this because it wouldn't have space for a full size?
