I actualy had my original virgin spare replaced when I got my car. It still hasn't been on the road.

I do need a complete tool kit, I have half of one that I have been able to put together from junk W126's. The dealer will sell me a new one for $90 so maybe for my birthday I can get it.:D Once I get a new tool kit NFW will I use it though, I'll throw in a 1/2 drive wrench for the bolts.:D

Go take that spare and get it filled with nitrogen and that way the rubber will last longer. And with the nitrogen you wont have to worry about the air existing over time.
