Britpart on mine, bought 2nd hand off a mate 4 odd years ago still looks okay, grease nipples on the pivots, it used to rattle but I think I put a little bit of rubber packing so it had some tension on it when the door was shut.
Biggest issue with all spare wheel carriers is wheel security, especially if you have something tasty to hang on it, locking wheel nuts not really the answer.

Terrafirma mine, not completely sold on the rod slider attachment to the back door and its expensive to buy. Solid though.
To be fair I cant even remember whats under the wheel!
I do remember slathering it in grease when fitting the piston/rod thingy and er thats it.
Just googled and the one I have appears to be britpart DA2232, which looks identical to the Mantec version.
If you want to scare yourself look at TMDtunings offering, very nice but over 500 quid

The piston arrangement is merely a metal tube that a plastic slug slides inside. You have to full open the rear carrier and the rear door simultaneously for them to part. It needs a a good lubing anorl.

I have the britpart one (DA2232) and it's held up really well over the 6 years. the slidder to the door has been no issues at all. I needed to spray some lube into it everyone now and then. But been very solid.

Just stay sharp on Flea bay, the mantec ones sometime trend at £130ish
