It is actually a terrible system, because the cable that runs in that tube rusts solid. There is then no way that you can get at the mechanism to free it up because the wheel is in the way. You really would think that Fiat would put checking the spare wheel mechanism in the service schedule, but they didn't. The spare wheel is completely unprotected so it's going to be soaked in water and salt spray. So the garages never check it, and when you have a puncture on the highway there is not a thing you can do about it.
Mate, thank you! I have been struggling with this on my vauxhall Combo, winding it out further (thought it was) so that I had room to then articulate the holding bracket.
If you want to put the alloy in the carrier after a change then you will need an adapter. Also there should be a remote valve tube to attach to the valve before you raise the wheel.
Hi just an update . Had my wheels changed on my Roller Team 747. The mechanic found you can’t access the spare wheel winch because the side skirt doesn’t allow access.
On the winding mechanism there is a window which has an indicator to let you know when you have wound up to the correct torque! You haven't mentioned this!

Thanks for this video. It’s a breakdown service for me

good demo was wondering if this is same as Combo and is except for location of the wind down mech which is accessed through a hole in rear trim thanks
Thanks Mark save me time working that one out.
No problem 👍
Dankjewel we kunne weer werkje
Nice one buddy i dont even have the mechanism so ill probably fit a spare on the door using a mount like a land rover.

Easy to follow, thanks
You're welcome!
Cool. Thank you
No problem!
Is this the same as the iveco daily 35s?

Yes a yellow line appears in the window - stops you from over-stressing the holding cable!
Hi my mechanism is locked up so I can not release spare tire. Can you help me? Thanks
