LeMaquis Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Puncture repair outfits are a quid from the pound shops. After that it's just a bit of time, effort and oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookingfat50 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 your lucky they repaired a puncture normal practice is to fit a new tyre, as a repairs are not very good unless they fit an inner tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I had one repaired a few weeks ago, slow pucture due to a screw stuck in the tyre. £7.50 at AP Tyres in Darnall, only took 10 minutes and they refitted the wheel too, they seemed surprised that I'd changed the wheel on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 carry a can of "tyre weld" it's about £7.00 a can, but you only need to use a small amount from the can to fix most small punctures. I had a small nail in one of my tyres quite some time ago,so i pulled the nail out & squirted the tyre weld in to it through the valve, & so far it's not lost any pressure at all! Have you read the tin? Most tyre weld cans do state that you shouldn't go above 50mph and shouldn't drive for more than a certain number of miles before getting the puncture properly repaired. They are not meant to be a permanent repair to a tyre and it's important that you know this before it lands you with a puncture at motorway speeds.

HeadingNorth Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I've known so called "proper puncture repairs " to fail after only a few days! That's why I much prefer to have a new tyre fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
