I was able to get off the dual carriageway and slowly make my way to Kwik Fit :-0

They put some air in the tyre and suggested I come back later in the day when it was less busy :-0

Fly Report 24 Jan 2026 19:34

And did you do that :-0

The tyre stayed inflated and I could see the problem....it was one of those electric cable clips.....a white bit of plastic they goes around the cable with a nail that you knock into the wall :-|

I know what you mean :-0 would not have thought the nail bit would go through a tyre though :-(

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 24 Jan 2026 19:39

Yes I went back at 3:30pm, still waited an hour and a half though :-0 Fortunately, they could repair it :-)

Fly Report 24 Jan 2026 19:40

Saved you a bit of money then :-)

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 24 Jan 2026 19:41

I must have caught it at such an angle that the pressure of the tyre just made it go right in :-(

Fly Report 24 Jan 2026 19:42

Never mind you are sorted now :-)

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 24 Jan 2026 19:43

Yes it was only £32.95 :-)

Fly Report 24 Jan 2026 19:44

Not so bad then :-) :-)

LondonBelle Report 24 Jan 2026 19:45

The scary thing is that with these modern cars warnings come up on the dashboard together with a sound. They reset the dashboard warning as well :-)

Fly Report 24 Jan 2026 19:46

Don't think i would like that :-0

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 24 Jan 2026 19:47
