I've had a blow out on the M62, only had the car a few weeks, can't find a spare

Does it have one before I call the AA??

Sorry fo reing dumb and owners manual is at home

IIRC there is no spare - just a can of foam - call the AA

if you get desperate the foam kit and compressor to pump tyre back up after is in the right hand side of the boot compartment

...otherwise wait for AA

Managed to get into the services, pumped up the tyre (no foam) and it held pressure for about 60 secs then the air just exploded out of the sides.

I had 4 new tyres fitted yesterday so I'm wondering if thy were fitted properly.

No, not as I've just got in and spent the last 5 hours in the cab of a low loader!

Not ideal. I feel sorry for the recovery driver though - he's got another 4.5 - 5 hours to get home!
