R55 spare tire

Cooper Clubman's (Non-S or JCW versions) came with a spare. It's under the floor (and under the other floor) in the boot.
The S and JCW have bigger front brakes and the standard spare won't fit, so they didn't include a spare. Some people buy a spare and just accept that they will have to swap a back tire for a flat front and put the spare on the back.
S and JCW come with runflats. You can tell by the sidewalls and tire codes.

The death rattle is when the car first starts and the timing chain tensioner is not tensioning the chain properly
