Spooky that! Good to know it works to a degree though I guess.

Btw Thanks for reminding me that I actually have a 12V compressor I bought years ago somewhere which I had totally forgot about! D'oh!

Ended up paying £100 all in for a new tyre and fitting which is not bad for a Conti Run flat I suppose. Also paid extra for them to take off the retarded outer rim clip on weights the dealer put on last September and balance the wheels with inside weights as you would normally expect to see.

ALSO I had full four wheel alignment done whilst it was in. Phew.

Needless to say driving back home it felt like a totally different car!
