Only ever used it once. It didn't work because the puncture was an inch long slice on the inside edge of a six day old tyre. All the stuff piddled out and I was stranded.

I've used it loads of times. Good stuff but the cheaper versions are just as good.

Do you have enough room for a spacesaver? i know there total crap and you can only drive a max of 50 mph but still better than nothing.

Put your battery where its meant to go and you'll have room for a spare. Pointless being stranded somewhere when you don't need to be

Have it in my boot as the z4 didn't come with a spare. Wasn't even an optional extra (hence the runflats as standard).

Haven't used it yet, so can't comment.

Where do you suggest I put the fuel system, that's plumbed in there?

Yeah, I'll just put battery back in te bay, definitely nothing in the way there either.

No room at all mate. Fuel system is in the well, along with the battery

Used holts and it worked well. 2nd time on Friday wasn't successful but that was more wishful thinking that it would seal a 2inch gash.

Good for fixing slow punctures. Only used it for nails and screw holes because it's cheaper than a repair.

Would always rather have a spare wheel than Tyre Spunk for distance driving, especially abroad. Even if it had to go on the back seat.

The stuff is fine for a small puncture from a nail or similar, absolutely useless for any significant sidewall damage or a blowout...

At least with a spare - spacesaver or full size - you can get mobile again to a Tyre depot or wherever.

The Monday after my flat tyre debacle, I went and purchased two more tyres, another alloy and I made a trip to my nearest automotive upholsterers and had a spare wheel cover tailored out of black vinyl.

I also assembled a comprehensive tool kit in the boot for dealing with any further issues.

Obviously I have not had another puncture since.
