Yeh that's the best bet. Toyotas prices are absolutely ridiculous! I was quoted £80 for an engine oil dipstick!! :lol:

Can you not just buy another tyre cheaply, or is your mind set on welding it?

if its a puncture like a screw or nail, any tyre place will take it off and put a plug in it for about 25 quid - job done :)

theres no room for a spare on the IQ, so the weld is only a temp repair to get me home, iv now had the puncture repaired.
