Can I ask how much?

Mine was leaking on my GTS and got changed under warranty. Dick Lovetts commented it was the same part that is on the Ferrari and its £5k from the factory!!!

ES are listing it as £1,126 plus VAT

It's a refurbed Delphi Harrison (who make the original parts) unit from Compressor Express in Hungary. Cost about £470 including VAT and shipping. Looks brand new to me. I'd have had a new one for about £100 more but the things are like hen's teeth. Even this one took a couple of weeks for the supplier to track down.

Comes with a year's warranty, by the way.

Holts Tyreweld is 2 for 1 at Halfords, in case anyone's planning on stocking up.

I have a GranSport Spare and Contigo is carrying the 3200/4200 spare of mine too plus Voicey tells me he can plug and seal punctures with some gizmo he has too, so we should be ok (famous last words)

Indeed, I think its something like this, and at £3.50 I think we should all be carrying them:

That is quite possibly one of the worst instructional videos I have ever seen. My wife could hear it in the background and asked me what I was watching on my laptop - go to 2:40 and listen to see why! I also cannot take a man who wears flip flops with socks seriously!

I'll be bringing my compressor/jump pack to LM as well for added insurance against flat tyres and flat batteries!

Yes, I was chuckling at the grunting and was waiting for him to smack himself in the happy sack!

 

[CatmanV2]

Similar things to bike tyres for years. Personally I never had the nerve!

I've had high-speed rated tyres repaired before but only plugged from the inside. It looks to be a similar result but I'd like to know the recommendation on max fixable hole size and whether the repair should be considered permanent or temporary. In any case it beats being stuck by the side of the road (assuming you can get the wheel off... I can't imagine the rears would be an easy fix without removal).
