Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content


Recommended Posts

Moved off having returned from the Bank and noticed that the ride felt unusually firm. Tyre pressure warning light was on ,so I pulled over just short of Aldi in EllesmerePort.

Sure enough the rear offside new Kumho was as flat as a pancake. Contacted Lexus Roadside Assistance and the AA turned up 25 minutes later.

25 mins was just enough to let me see a dark green LS400 drive out of the Aldi car park and make friends with an elderly lady who tapped on my window to tell me I had a flat tyre ! 

Anyway, I digress. AA man asked for Locking Nuts and as I looked through to where the Space Saver wheel was kept I noticed what appeared to be a clean plastic sheet A4 in size. I told him that I had never seen this before and had no clue as to what it was. He took it from me and opened it up to reveal a large heavy duty industrial grade plastic bag . "This is for your punctured wheel to reside in so that Lexus Owners and their vehicles don`t get dirty", he said.

Well blow me, says I. Learn something new every day.

Tyre now repaired and fitted courtesy of Port Tyres.

 

Regards

John

I've only had a couple of flats tyres, it wouldn't dawn on me to phone the breakdown service. :)

I imagine that you would Garry if you were deaf and you had a congenital heart condition.

Me too.

In more than 40 years of driving I've only had two flat tyres. Mind you, now that my LPG tank lives where the spare wheel used to reside, I too will be calling the breakdown service if I ever have another one  :wink:

I didn't mean it in a disparaging way, it really wouldn't dawn on me to call the breakdown service.
