I hear you can get them from one of those superstores that are at the side of the road up and down the country. I hear that they are quite popular with some drivers
order them online with tyre cement. And needle to get the plugs in. Once in set plug on fire it seals it. I’ve got tyres with couple of plugs in lol
they last till tyre is worn out. I run scrap metal. very much needed. Saves you a fortune. no need for tyre man. call out with new tyre costs you 600 plus. in 10 minutes pull scrap out plug in tyre blown up and on ye way.
Yes thats the way to go nowadays lol, like you say 5 mins job done, not enough time to book a break ??
break. what’s one of them
If in doubt flat out.

Got NO bloody sleep last night.![]()
It all started yesterday morning got this….
Apparently it’s telling me my batteries need service or replaced, but after a check they were fine, so thought ….yeah I can live with that, so got loaded and set off down the road.This morning about 1am whilst enjoying my beauty sleep, I was rudely awakened by a bloody loud alarm, with this come up on dash.
Got up started engine, battery was not weak but as lively as normal, so got back into bed.Bloody thing went off FIVE more times at hourly intervals…..so I’ve been in a stinking (and tired) mood all bloody day.![]()
Called into Renault and got the warning knocked off by the computer ….effin electronics on trucks man ![]()
Anyhoo hoping for a decent kip tonight.
Incidentally just realised how I actually enjoy cabbing it in winter, bloody cold outside, nightheater on, lying here on bunk looking butch masculine and cool in me shorts catching up on ‘I’m a celebrity’ with a can of Guiness…..
