Last night, 2 miles from the ferry terminal in Hull, complete flat tyre on my friends Range Rover. We were already running late and between the 4 of us changed the wheel in F1 time! Even though a new full fat Rangey it had a space saver. The original 20 inch tyre was totally shot, foam would not have got us going.
Got on board ship just in time, and arranged LR recovery to meet us this morning in Zeebruga.
There waiting for us on arrival, but insisted they transported us to the LR main dealer. Couple of hours for them to sort a new tyre so the dealer principle dropped us off in Brugge in a new Jaguar F Pace...very nice.
All now sorted and cruising down France to Morzine.
Tyre cost 480 euro's plus fitting etc bill came to 611 euro's. Ouch! Looking on blackcircles, £150...
However if not for the spare we would still be in Hull!
Hence why I have a space saver in the Maser!
