Tyre Repair Kits in place of a spare tyre

[Gofer Blue]

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.

And get a decent telescopic wheel wrench, no point having the wheel if you can't get the nuts off. (s******)

The irony was that my new Honda had a jack and wheel wrench all the time but I didn't think to check because it had the infamous aerosol kit! The former items were hidden in a recess under the floor of the boot. The double irony was that the Wheel Shop sent me a scissors jack by mistake along with the spare wheel! I rang them back to tell them but they told me to keep it as it would cost too much to send it back. Hence I now have a spare car jack as well.

Have you got to carry it around in the boot, or can you buy a kit (as with my Zafira), whereby you can put the spare underneath

I briefly had a Honda, and found that underneath the boot floor was a further storage unit which could take a SpaceSaver spare, but was empty - just extra storage. The car was supplied with the gunk and an inflator.
I looked at getting a SpaceSaver - it was available under £100 online as I recall.
I would definitely have got one if I was doing any distance in the car, and if I had had it for longer.

OK, well done. At least now you'll have the peace of mind of knowing you have a proper fix in the event of a puncture!
