Title: Grrrr!
Post by: TechnoTurkey on February 19, 2007, 13:39:48: Took my new toy to work today, just went out to have a look at lunchtime and I've got a very flat front tyre.

That would be ok, but no jack, no wheel brace, no spare.........
Title: Grrrr!
Post by: jamesledingham on February 19, 2007, 14:18:32: LOL...I pity the fool.

I had a thought last week that I wouldn't want to caught out like that.

So I went to screwfix and got a bottle jack (with 20% off) and also a wheelbrace.

No help to you though!!

Post by: TechnoTurkey on February 19, 2007, 15:13:00: Hi Daz,

I'm stuck over in Evesham at the moment so prob a bit out of your way.

I've made a call to the local tyre place who are hopefully going to come out and sort it for me this afternoon.

Many thanks for the offer though.

Post by: TechnoTurkey on February 19, 2007, 15:42:19: Sorted! The local guys drove over, took the wheel off, back to their place, fixed it and brought it back and refitted for the grand price of Ã‚Â£10 - can't complain at that.

I didnt even know they'd done it until someone in the office said they'd seen them!
Title: Grrrr!
Post by: jamesledingham on February 19, 2007, 15:43:32: You should have said. I only live 5 miles from evesham

Can bring the kit over for 17:30 if you want as it's equal distance to evesham as it is to home.

Won't cost you a penny either.

Even better is that due to laziness, I've still got the trolley kack in the car after not being arsed to take it out this wknd!

Post by: jamesledingham on February 19, 2007, 15:46:11: posted at the same time!

One of my colleague's Dad's is the Manager at Evesham Kwickfit so may have been able to get you a discount!

You can't go wrong for Ã‚Â£10 though!!
