Tyre Repair Kit

[clemsboy]

I am a very new member ( 5 minutes ago) and was hoping someone can help. I have recently bought a Lexus SC430 2001 ( my first ever Lexus) and following a service by Lexus Battersea I was informed that the tyre sealant bottle from the kit is out of date. Can anybody tell me where I may get a replacement. I have tried Sewells and although they do have a kit the bottle is not shown so not sure if it will be compatible with the pump that is fitted in the car. If not what do you other owners use as a repair kit.

Thanks

I think most people with them will have them out of date. Mine certainly is.. before you pay top dollar from Lexus to get a new one think on this. The chance of it working if you do get a puncture are not 100% on a topic I read most say it worked but wouldn't last for more than 20 miles or so. It was difficult to apply and it was much easier to call out the breakdown service. If you must have one you can by a branded product from Halfords or online at amazon or e-Bay for much less ((around £25 ) These were quite early kits and new branded ones I understand work better if needed. I pay a few £ a month for good Bearkdown cover and don't bother worrying about it. Chances are the tyre will need replacing in any case. The pump fitted to the car is just a tyre inflator. It just inflates the tyre after you have poured the sealant into the tyre (after removing the tyre valve).

Thanks for the reply I think you are are right, so I shall go to Halfords or amazon.

I think most of us have the 'get you home' wheel/tyre and proper tyres. Lexus owners in the UK complained so much it was done for free many years ago.
