Gobsh*te who was working with me convinced me he could mix the slow puncture. Took the screw out and had the repair kit. Had 3 goes at repairing and said he got it sorted. I got a few hundred yards down the road and the tyre went completely flat was as I was going onto m50. f**king cursed the ****. Was a Friday afternoon aswel. Lost an hour changing the wheel as spare is stored under the van in a ****ish place

Kinda following on from tyres and punctures, the lack of a spare tyre nowadays in the boot of cars, i think its to do with fuel efficiency and less weight but I'd much prefer a tyre than those machine pumps. They are designed to get you to the garage but if the puncture is big a few cm's and you are in the middle of nowhere then you are in trouble.

Costs?

I wouldn't use the compressor in my boot to pump a football never mind a tyre.

feel same so went breakers and got a jack and spare for 50 quid and a cross bow wheel brace from mr price

A steel wheel (even a space saver) and tyre cost an awful lot more to purchase and store than a cheap plastic compressor. Adds up when you are producing millions of cars a year per brand. My VRS had a spare tyre as standard. Strange your's didn't.

What about that poxy little Vauxhall? That have wan?

Seems to be a very deliberate effort to push Bertie in our face lately. It would make you sick
