So today I decided to swap front passenger tyre on my Mk 8 ST with rear tyre, as front passenger tyre has started chunking due to defective torque characteristics of engine.

Beware- the folding wheel wrench that sits in the jack is an absolute joke- I put some force on it to free wheel lug and its soft and flimsy and would have collapsed and melted like cheese had I tried to remove the lugs.

Really Ford should be shot for this- sending cars to Australia on pretext of having a spare and jack and wheel wrench to do wheel change- when I can tell you- say you are 400km above Alice Springs on Stuart Highway, or worse -somewhere remote-ie- Butterfly Gorge anyone?? with a flat, and this wheel wrench would just warp- and you would be stranded.

That could be a serious predicament at Butterfly Gorge etc.

So- heads up- get a proper folding wheel wrench, place it in the rear tub, to avoid you being stranded.
