RAC - Will they help you if you havent got a spare?

Basically.. as our Fiestas are meant to have spare wheels under the boot, if you take them off and then have to call RAC out to help you.. will they refuse to help you because you have no spare when you should have?

Ta. Paul.

Many cars such as the Clio 172 Cup never came with a spare wheel just a can of tyre weld.

also rover 75's, no spare, just a can of tyre weld

I know alot of newer cars come with tyreweld, but if the car was meant to have one from standard do you have to have it on?

dont wanna risk being caught out miles away

is that tyre weld any good? does it actually fill you tyre up as stated?

in regards to your concern mate, i have a mate int he rac, ill ask him nxt time i see him, but i think they charge you extra or sumit? that was the impression i got anyway... i have a spare...but its flat and bald LOL! ill take it out sum time... just dnt want the arse of the car raising up lol ( muppet!)

It is excellent stuff. It doesn't completely fill the tyre up but puts enough "air" in it to drive at slow speed to a tyre replacement garage. I on the other hand did exactly what you are not supposed to do and drove to a garage, pumped the tyre up to full pressure and did another 10000 miles on it, hence why I say it's great stuff!

It's not a requirement for the MOT so Idon't see what grounds they could have to argue it

I used to be, not the case anymore.

If you have one it has to be legal that's the only rule I'm aware of but it's been a long time since I stuck my head in a book

Agreed that was the case and I thought it still was but our lass had her Ka go through the test late last year and the tyre wasn't even on the rim but it passed!
