An here I though $180 was steep

I was at a dealer in Ipswich a few hours ago and I though I'd see how much they want and got a price of

Wait for it

"about $450!!!"

Are these guys on the same planet as us?

wow $450!!

it would be cheaper to get a tow to the nearest tyre dealer and get a new tyre

$450.00...that must have been supply and fit :lol:

The guy behind the counter didn't think you could get it then I told him the NC doesn't have a spare wheel so we must beable to get it because that is all that comes with it

So he dug around and found it and his jaw pretty much drop to the ground and said "mate do you really want to know?" to which I said what $200? and he replied with "no! times that by 2 and a bit, around $450!. I'm sure there are alternatives out there"

Oh and for those who haven't used it, if I recall correctly there's an expiry date on that puncture sealant can too :twisted:

I might get a bottle of that True Blue Goo stuff that Charlie Brown mentioned and a decent puncture repair kit and hope to god I never have to use it!

Just on the MX5parts.co.uk site ordering a couple of sets of yellow stuff pads when I noticed that they have the replacements listed here

Still bloody expensive for a can of goo, I prefer my Dynaplug

Yeah I seen that very expensive it is so which is why I'm steering more towards the repair kits

That Dynaplug stuff looks the goods would you have happen to of used it before? I have used the repair kits in the past and that makes it looks so easy which makes me think that is too good to be true

I've used the Dynaplug 3 times in total on cars other than my MX5.
It works a treat even used it on a large hole which required 2 of the plugs to seal perfectly.
I have 2 now, the one in the MX5 fits easily into the tyre repair pouch and lives there.

I believe you can buy from a local supplier now though it might be more expensive than ordering direct.

You can get one of these types of kit (similar to Dynaplug) from Supercheap for about $15. http://www.ozab.com.au/goods-3411.html

I carry one in the MX-5.

Do you need to jack up the car and remove the wheel to be able to use these plug kits? That'd be pretty difficult without a jack and wheelbrace ... so I'm guessing the answer is no.

Oh and it's a good idea to pack a set of pliers if you're relying on a roadside puncture repair. You'll need it to remove the nail/screw/rock/whatever that has caused the puncture. (He says having just checked the repair kit in his BMW and noticing it did not have a set of pliers! Does now. :lol:

Nope, roll the car till the hole is accessable. put the file in the hole and file away to rough it up, push dyna plug in, remove tool.

Youtube it.

No file required with Dynaplug.
