Puncture kit replacement

[billybonfire3]

Just had a puncture and needed the kit to get to garage for tyre replacement. Anyone got a link for a cheap kit replacement? Thanks

I found them on ebay, fairly priced.

TBH - I would not both replacing it IF they prove to be as expensive as other manufacturers.
Many have a shelf life on them of about 3 years anyway, after this you are advised to replace them regardless.
So, be careful buying a second hand canister if it is close to the “sell by” date .
Have you considered going for some of the “Holts Tyre Weld” puncture repair stuff instead ?.
It is readily available from many outlets and is almost certain to be more economical at about £6 and is much better in some respects.
The Holts produce can be washed out of an affected tyre, which maybe repairable ( depending on the location of the puncture of course ) and then the tyre could be refitted and continue being used safely.
In many cases, the factory gloop can not be cleaned out of an affected tyre and therefore can’t be reused again, even if the tyre was almost brand new .
I don’t know if the TPMS sensor could be affected when using the factory gloop either ?. I still carry the factory gloop in the boot ( even though I have a MG space saver wheel & tyre, but I also carry a can of Holts as well !.
You can never have too many options available .

I don't think anyone is suggesting buying a 2nd hand canister.

The can is just a refillable bottle. You can fill it with whatever poison you chose

Aarrhhhh …. I do see your point thanks .
I was just trying to advise caution if ( as was suggested above in the post, buying a unit from the likes of EBay, which could be offered by a breakers yard etc ) that these canisters usually have a “sell buy” date on them.
Buying one in this manner ( therefore technically second hand ) and you could find that when it arrives, it has only 1 year of its life span remaining, this could be very disappointing and false economy.
The Holts canister at about £6 has to be a no brainer really .
