Nobody is gonna steal a 306 spare wheel nowadays.
A lot of us run without a spare (cant fail on it at the MOT if it isn't there) and keep something like Holts Tyreweld in the boot as that stuff genuinely works and doesn't ruin the tyre. Obviously you are still screwed if you get a blowout but those are rare and that's what AA membership is for.
As for removing the original one spray it with Plus gas every day for a week then rather than using the end of the oem wheel brace to unscrew it use either a massive flat bladed screw driver or flat file in the groove and then clamp that with a big adjustable/mole grips etc and turn it like that to turn it.
