Coming back from a job, yesterday, near the Clee hills, the car fell into a pothole just outside Cleobury Mortimore.
Going up to the motorway, junction 2 M5 my tyre pressure warning light came on, I stopped and checked the offending tyre, nearside front and was able to get home.
having alloy wheels, I thought that I had cracked it...confirmed by the fact that I couldn't get any air into it.
Just like modern cars, no spare, no jack, not even a can of tyre repair...BUGGA. Go to work and asked the car basher around the corner if I could use his high pressure air compressor, we managed to get 20 psi in and he hoticed a little knick in the tyre wall.
Got a new tyre fitted (£60) and much to my relief, all is well.
I wold have been right up the gum tree if it had been a knackered wheel.
Onlt problem now is the tyre pressure warning light wont go off.
