An Essential, not an 'Accessory'

Volvo should include a spare wheel. The design of the spare wheel kit is poor. Besides the spare wheel, there were 3 foam mouldings (1 of which was damaged at the location lug) and a number of other plastic components but no drawings or instructions. By deduction I was able to work out how they were supposed to be fitted into the car. The foam mouldings were not securely fixed. The spare wheel is fitted with the outside of the wheel facing upwards, which makes the cavity on the inside of the wheel difficult to use for storage. The electric tyre pump and tyre sealant (which came with the car) do not have a designed storage space, so I put these in the cavity under the spare wheel. (The previous model of V60 had the spare wheel the other way up and used the cavity which was therefore easily accessible, for tool storage).
