Good place to look is local scrap yards, just check yellow pages for car dismantlers, another option is ebay

Hi Carmen,

I've moved your post over to the Motoring board to see if you can get some more help over there.

It would not cost much to buy a new one from your local motor factors,although i prefer to use a socket and extention bar.The wheel braces are hard work for a woman if you need to change a wheel yourself,especially if the wheel nuts have been tightened by a garage with an air gun!!

Dont bother gettign a replacement, Go to your local tesco / asda / halfords they sell extendable braces with a reversable socket these are excellent and only cost around £4, best bit is you stand more chance of getting the nuts off if they were last put on with a compresser gun at a garage due to the extendable handle.

A adjustable spanner for about £1 will fix your spare wheel problem.
