patently Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think I've found why one of the tyres on Mrs P's X3 is losing pressure... I reckon that's ok to repair. Anyone disagree?[ATTACH]48098[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thank feck for that! I thought the Caterham had been in the wars again! Far enough away from the wall to be repairable I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torino101 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Having a fecking awful time with tyres atm. 2 punctures both requiring new tyres and a new alloy as well due to unbelievable pot hole damage - most ridiculous part was what caused the last puncture. Screw, glass, nail, even a razor blade? No this is Africa, a chunk of bone I'm not even joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Different garages have different ideas on what is acceptable to repair, I know the place I use would repair that no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Bet you would have changed that tyre on the new Discovery 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Now repaired - hope it holds No reason why it wouldn't if done properly, I've had hundreds of repairs over the years, and never had one fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Bet you would have changed that tyre on the new Discovery 4 Have you seen the price of new ones?? I'd be stupid to, with that much tread still left. So of course I would, duh! No reason why it wouldn't if done properly, I've had hundreds of repairs over the years, and never had one fail. I had one fail once, some time ago though. Good to hear yours have been positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
