Tyre inflation kit

[Marc777]

I don't have one of these and in preparation for the Paris trip thought it would be prudent.

What are they worth?

I think the gunk has a use by date on these, doesnt it?

I took the GS to Luxembourg last year and the previous owner had used the sealant - unfortunately, I couldnt get a refil in time - I took with me two cans of tyre seal from Halfords (I think Asda sell them too, for not much money).

This is the compressor though Woody

Thanks guys

I think I will go for it and buy a new can of gunk !

 

[Marc777]

I bid over £80 but didn't win. With postage makes £90 plus. Shame.

Did anyone here buy it?

They don't come up often.......not me.

IIRC the original can of gunk is £38 for Eurospares.

I had to use a similar can of gunk on my Merc E55 and am told it renders the tyre useless and punctures cannot be repaired. Might be a trip to Halfords as you suggest Woody! I also see that 12V tyre compressors are cheap and plentiful on fleabay - just not OEM which is a shame.

Thanks

But tyre compressor only of use if tyre under inflated....if a puncture.......then need it reparied full stop......or use a spare....if tyre off rim....can't use either foam or compressor?!...costing £500 plus just for spare wheel.

P, the spare tyre on a QP needs to be inflated before you can put it on the car...
I did post a picture of one a while ago, strange looking thing!
