Tyre Repair Kits in place of a spare tyre

[Heathblue]

WTF!!!!!

Had a puncture 2 nights ago, managed to get over the original Severn Bridge, then had to pull over, i thought i would be putting on a space saver only to be confronted by one of these contraptions, never worked, £118.0 for a tow down to Magor, £110 for a mobile Tyre man to fix it, jacked in AA when getting Ford assist, only to be told, do not cover punctures.

Can't see the point in these. A spare tyre hardly costs a fortune. Why have a poxy repair kit instead?

what sort of gear do you carry around in order to change a trye on a car??

TBH i was more annoyed with myself for falling for the Ford salesman's patter regarding Ford Assist, I never usually buy these products from dealers, but being faced with the return to Yate each day felt i needed good cover if anything went wrong bought into their 3 year service plan as well, Never again!!!

Forget a repair.I would want to put the spare on and then drive to SlowFit and get a new tyre fitted.

Chris, get down scrappies and get a complete wheel & tyre.

There wont be anywhere for it to go . The boot will be flat.

Its not the cost of the spare wheel its the cost of dragging it around with you fuel wise.

Is it a case the car should have run flats on it?

Take out a cheap breakdown cover with the AA or the RAC or give me a ring and I will send someone out

I have a friend who had a similar problem to you and I immediately ordered a space-saver wheel for my Honda because I didn’t fancy having the same problem myself! (Like you, his and my car only had the aerosol kit). The new wheel/tyre cost about £50 inc p&p from

The genuine Honda spare space-saver wheel would have cost me £150!

Give the Wheel Shop guys a try.

Make sure you've got a jack (not an Abertawe Town fan) as well mind.

Just a little bit of advice Chris, don't bother with those aerosol repair kits unless you want a face full of white stuff.

They are crap.
First time I used one it took over half an hour. Quicker 2nd time, but a tyre change only takes 10 minutes ( if you keep the locking wheel nut safe and if your drive isn't on a slope so the car slips off the jack :doh: ).

Anyway I know that if I get a puncture these days it's best just to call Jimmy who will be around with a new car in 5 minutes 😉

But of course. A puncture or any mishap with your car should be a pleasurable experience not a chore.

Ive used one of these a couple of times

Don't Ford Focus' come with run flat tyres?

[ian gibson]

CAR tyres painted white and wrapped in green tarpaulin sheets make ideal packets of Polos for short sighted giants.
