Ordered the parts from Ford and a wheel from ebay.
Easy to fit.
The new design is less nickable than before.
I usually factory order new vans, but it really annoys me that stock vehicles never have a spare wheel, passanger airbag or alarm, even at decent trim levels.
They have all the bells and whistles, but not basic things that really should be there.

I can't ever remember getting a puncture which could be repaired by foam, and have nearly always destroyed the tyre before managing to stop. The last time I had a puncture in the van, I had to call out Green flag because the van was too low to get the spare off the carrier, so I now have one stashed inside.
I'm not sure what would happen, and how much it would cost, if you had to call out a tyre company to replace a shredded tyre, if you had no spare
