I know this is a late posting by me, but this quote is a load of crock.

Providing the tyre hasn't been run flat, all that is required is the gunk washed out (whole 5 minute job) and the hole repaired. Then the tyre is perfectly safe to drive on. Oh and cost is the cost of a normal puncture repair.

For what it's worth, I reckon they should ban this gunk crap. It can be dangerous driving on a tyre that has gone flat and not inspected internally prior to re-fitting

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here
