Tyre inflator

Ok so I now have my spare wheel "kit" in the boot!! Full size alloy and matching continental, extendable wheel brace, a few other bits and the wheel changing kit from my old 406 coupe that was never used and u rescued! The only thing that would make it perfect would be a smaller better tyre inflator! The Peugeot one is too big and I am NEVER using that crappy foam stuff they give you again so I don't need the original one! If you ever use it when you remove the empty cartridge it leaves all the liquid stuff in the compressor to leak everywhere!



And after:

Oh I forgot! Yes you have to deflate the tyre to get it in the boot!!

Is it a 19 inch alloy with 235 tyres? I always though the alloys would be a bit too high to perfectly fit...

Is that wheel brace going to be alright? Remember Ron's problems ;)

I've used the foam stuff in the past, which I've not had problems with. For me, it's easier to use, then to change a wheel.

-Yes it's a 19 inch Sortilege with a 235 but deflated. It's very slightly raised but with the carpet and the tray it's not even noticeable.
- I bought an extendable wheel brace today which I tested and works a treat! It's the black handle you see in the picture! I'm also going to try this out:

-the foam stuff may be fine with a small puncture but not with an inch long slit which is what I had, in which case you either need a spare or a tow!
-I asked about the jacking points today at the tyre fitters and looked under the car, they "look" a lot stronger on the new model and the groove on the jack is deep but I will be checking it now.... I'm definitely going to be testing it before I go on my road trip!! And I think a small piece of wood as a flat base is a good idea!
-Yes Rizz a 19inch Sortilege without the 100 quid tyre sensor!! I can do without that in a spare!
