ive never heard of a vw transporter MC being used. Just get a larger one off a bigger engine peugeot.
Most run spare wheels still. Tyre weld ruins the tyre so it cant be used again, is only good for small holes and only fixes holes in the treaded part of the tyre. If you cut a sidewall its useless. Also I thought it repressurised the tyre, apparently not. you still need to carry an electric pump with you.
I would recommend keeping the spare, make sure its good condition and most importantly if you swap wheels make sure the bolts are right for the wheels. I fitted cyclones which needed flat bolts, went to use the spare and it used tapered which meant i couldnt fit the spare wheel and was stuck!
