So the one with a screw in it isn't repairable :-( best they can do is put a tube in it.

Now did anyone see what I did with the locking nut key? I don't seem to have it anymore

oops...

I thought I'd lobbed it in the back too. But having emptied the back and all three toolboxes I can't find it anywhere.
Can only think I left it on the nut of the broken wheel when input it back on the door.

Double bummer is they aren't landrover locking nuts so can't just order another key, had to buy a whole new set of nuts. Thanks to the previous owner for that one!

I didn't touch it!!! I wasn't responsible for the lost wheel nut key this time.
I'm sure You did chuck it in the back though Andy.
I've got a set of them corkscrew socket thingies if you want to borrow them. Although they work best with the air gun.
Let me know if you get stuck.

I've always wondered why those airless tyres never became mainstream. They were developed quite a few years ago now. I bet they're terrible under heavy braking.

Thanks Paul but hopefully the friendly local garage will be able to bust them off for me. If not I'll give u a call. The tyre people wanted £50 to do it.

Has that rutted lane had some filling done, it didnt look anything like as bad as it has been or is it just the camera angle ?

Was dry which helped I think? I thought it looked better, still was a wimp about it though!!

I don't believe any waffle boards were used, must mean it was better!!
