emergency tyre repair
I'm in france with survival-only french so was not able to fully understand the
implications of a quick burst tyre repair I've just had carried out to get me back to base. This particular garage was unable to find a tool to fit these particular wheel bolts and I couldn't find one in my car kit either so he squirted a can of gunk into the tyre and when that didn't work used an odd looking flexible stick of something which was brutally forced into the puncture and seems to be working. (as will be evident, I haven't a lot of experience with this sort of thing!). How long is a fix like this usually good for before I can next get to a properly equipped garage and replace the wheel? The pressure seemed to be fine after 20 miles or so - what are the chances of another 20miles? Is time itself a factor whether driving on it or not? what have others' experiences been? thanks |
