Spare wheel

I have a space saver spare in the boot, will this same space accomodate a full size spare?

yea but the carpet is different. if yiu got a spacesaver wheel then your carpet should be the flat one. spare wheels that are standard width have a carpet with a bulge in it.

I used to have a full sized spare with bulging carpet in my old Mk2 GL, unfortuneately the Mk2 16v has a space saver.

The bulge was really useful for stopping things rattling about in the boot.
