Iq Flat Tyre

[MD1]

Last week we took our 2 month old iQ3 from Norfolk to Scotland - car was really good and very comfortable :D however having covered well on 1000 miles in a week driving along the road from hell (for us in East Anglia it's the A14) the car starting to vibrate and yes you've guessed it we had a flat :censor:

So we unloaded the boot got out the little pump etc and followed the instructions and ended up with a tyre with mumps!

We had to call Toyota assistance who brought us and the car home... now need to call the dealer tomorrow in the hope that they can supple a tyre and pick my car up as I'm sure I shouldn't be driving the car anywhere?? You decide by the shots of my rear passenger tyre?!?!

So it's a new tyre and I guess new tyre weld stuff???

You are right. You don'y want to be driving anywhere on that tyre.

I got a punture shortly after getting my car, but I managed to get it sorted when I got to work, so I was ok. With more and more cars coming without a spare tyre things like this are more common. Changing a wheel is a pain, but fixing the tyre with the sealant kit, and then not being any better off is a nightmare.

I had problems getting a replacement tyre at the time, but I hope you get sorted out ok.

Thats why I carry a spare wheel, I just don't like the idea of those inflation kits, or the cost to replace them (about the cost of a new tyre it would appear and it looks like you need to buy a new tyre too if you have a puncture, unless you have access to tyre changing equipment).

don't see how as we followed the instructions to the letter and only inflated the tyre to around 1.5 bar - someway off what it should be - the compressor actually delivers the sealant so you don't have much say over how much goes in!

Hopefully my dealer can help - but why do I have this nagging feeling they won't?????? Spoilt our relaxing week away I can tell ya!! :(
