I heard a similar story about the Nissan juke , quaskai ( sp ) .... no spare wheel . bit ridiculous if you ask me .

[g.ordon]

Heard the same story meself mate, f***** ridiculous. Also, what if you hit something on the road that ripped the tyre up, don't think the tin of tyre weld stuff would work then.

[Blanked again]

Apparently a spare tyre is now an "optional extra"

The tyre weld will only repair small holes & you only get 1 shot at the repair. Another chance for the car companies to get more money from us.

correct me if i'm wrong but i always thought it was law to carry a spare wheel,jack and wheelbrace.

i have this problem with my zafira. but apparently its not the law. i thought they were compulsory for an mot

Apparently not mate. However, I heard if you do carry a spare wheel and the tyre on it is below the tread limit yer could get done, even though yer aint used it yet!

Just googled it and yer can't get done unless yer fit it

Not any more my lass had a mini with run flat tyres so nothing needed as a spare

[lingking]

bought an mg about 14 years ago got it home having a look round it,thought ill look and see if the spares there tin of weld stuff

back to garage parked car up and said it will stay there till spare wheel goes in,fair play to them they put one in

I have the nissan qashqai and you only get the chemical pump, no spare, you dont even get a jack with it, when i needed to replace 2 tyres after the wife hit a kerb i only found this out, the pump was useless as the tyre had ripped, i phoned the garage to ask where the jack was and they said it doesnt come with one, so after buying one i took the wheel off and took it to quick fit and was quoted £360.00 for the tyre as only 2 companies make them, when i tried to replace the wheel i discovered that the axle drops when you take the wheel off so i needed another jack to lift the axle before i could get the new wheel on, so £720.00 for 2 tyres and had to fork out for 2 jacks, on an £18,000 car you would at least expect a spare and the means to change it, i can only say i will NEVER buy a Nissan again.

the point is the tyre is usless when you use the tyre weld

correct and some tyre centers charge £10 to clean their tools down when it spills all over their machines ...

As long as she can blow the spare up and she fits in the boot.

[tilly]

has the same problem on my grand c-max.took it to quick fit after using the tyre weld....you will have to buy a new tyre as we cannot change the tyre once the weld has been used!!
