Sat at Watford Gap services. Golf has a puncture.No spare tyre, and the goo stuff hasn't sealed the hole. Waiting for the AA to come and relay us to KwikFit. Currently a two hour wait for the AA.

So happy. Supposed to be going up for a GIg, so fingers crossed we get up there in time........

Sorry to read that Phil. Hope you get sorted in reasonable time to get to your event.
For all my "small" / everyday cars I have always purchased a Spacesaver spare. Might take up space in the boot, but it is a good "get one home".
The Morgan(s), Land Rovers &c have full sized spares...

Not even a jack with this car! If we were in the MG or Mog we'd be fixed and in Manchester by now smile

We've made it as far as KwikFit. She's due a new lease in a few months so will definitely get a space saver once we know what it is....

Having left Rushden at 9.00am, we finally arrived in Manchester at 6.00pm.

Quick hotel check in, dumped the bags , jumped on the tram and made it to the gig in time for the main act. Off to Stoke tomorrow for another gig, fingers crossed we have no further issues!

Thanks for all the advice, food for thought for the next car.
