Spare wheel cover
Does anyone know where I can get a spare wheel cover in black with the original, simple "Defender" graphic for my 18" spare? I know Land Rover do this but only for 16" wheels, unless I am mistaken.

It will fit (almost - perfectionists stop reading here) it's just a matter of technique ... reverse the flap part inside out, hold the flat part firmly against the wheel while gradually easing the surround flap over the wheel. Start at the top, where it's visible - you will be left with not quite enough to completely cover the tyre tread by the time you reach the bottom but you can't really see that. I have the cover that you describe on an 18" wheel with 275/65 AT tyres.

If you do find what you're looking for please post and let us know.

Thanks, everyone. I've ordered from Duckworths. Website says cover "to fit most sizes" - I'll let you know if it does!

Apologies for late reply. It does fit, but not well. Basically too small. Probably won't use it. I can't believe there isn't something out there!

I had almost given up hope of finding anything for my bfg at 265/65/r18 until I eventually found these guys on Amazon. http://www.clicksuperstore.com Who trade as bargainworld.
I originally ordered from Amazon but the size supplied was too small. Anyway to cut a long story short and after a few emails and a bit of measuring, I decided to pop in as I was passing Peterborough where they are based. I wanted to return the two they had sent and select from what they had. They had soft and metal rim left in the size I needed, but not the semi-rigid one I had ordered.
I settled for a soft cover cover in extra large 33" and this one fits Smile and hopefully it will do the job and look better once the creases drop out Thumbs Up
While there was a bit of tooing and frooing they were very helpful and did try to find a solution for me.
I'm not connected to the company in anyway, but I am happy to recommend them from a customer service point of view.

Anyway, thought I'd post this as it may be of use to someone.
