Do you have a spare tyre?

No,
Just a can of gubbins which I assume is as old as the car, 8 years.

Given we're virtually under house (and work, a mere 1.5 mile away)
arrest for the foreseeable I wonder about chucking that in and see what
happens.


Well if you are considering doing that, what about chucking something
more likely to make a permanent repair in? ;-)

I think it's those 'get you home' pressurised cans that the tyre
fitters don't like as I'm not sure how easy it is to clean out, if the
tyre could be repaired conventionally.


From what I've hears, nearly all are water based and can simply be
washed out, but fitters tend to use it as an excuse to sell a new tyre.
