Squirty tyre stuff

[joust]

Just to let you know that I got a flat in the rear at the A12/M25 junction. Stuffed the gunk from the can in - drove to the services at Thurrock - stuffed some air in and it got me home!

It's rather "unbalanced" but it seemed to work OK

Now I've got to find a decent tyre shop tomorrow that can repair it without scratching the wheels to fcuk!

Bummer - the tyre was a total mess on the inside shoulder - the wall had totally collapsed and was buldging out all over the place!

£196 later and it's happy again - ouch!

joust who was the £100 1000mile service with?
as i have just had mine done and when i went to pick it up they tried to charge me £361!! but after much debate with the salesman who sold me the car i got it for £150! you would think after paying £49,000 for a car you get the first service free like you normally do!!! while we are on has any one got a price for the 6000 mile service?

Mole Valley.

All the labour and warantee parts were free - all I paid for was the oil, filter and a few other bits that I got them to sort out.

BMW don't give me a free first service for my £50k X5 - so I'm not suprised the Noble one wasn't free - remember the more you pay for a car the more you pay - if you want free servicing by a Hyndai
