Hi everyone, just wanted o share a simple, yet quite rewarding, project that I've just finished on my x-type. When going on vacation my better half always finds a way to fill up the enormous boot of the x-type. In general I don't have a problem with carrying around the extra baggage... I do...

I recently bought a new wheel rim and had a tyre fitted so I have a spare wheel for my XF. The thing is it does not seem to fit properly in the bottom of the boot. Is there a different set of liner/boot coverings for cars with no spare or one with a spare?
