Not just yet :augie I'm still delighted with the machine. I reckon one (or more) of the glow plugs is screwed but other than that running well. Just done a 100mile tow with it and it was a pleasure.

Its got a while with me yet:lol

Sorry Timbo, absolute bollocks. Been there (last week) punctured, spotted, cleaned, patched.

Perhaps on the old crap which wasnt degradable or water soluble but not on the stuff I've linked to.



Again , bollocks Timbo. I have it in 235/65 x 17's they are worth around £135 per corner which to me is stupidly high value!!!.

No balance issues whatsoever, at all, not a jot :doh

You WILL get problems if you much the stuff I've linked to with powder balance or of course if its out of balance before you put the stuff in!!!!


Timbo, What type of stuff did you use and what circumstances caused you problems ? I presume you have used it ?

I've only ever used the OKO Linseal stuff, which seems to have bits of rubber and something else in greenish suspension of water and linseed oil.

I've tried acouple of times to vulcanise a patch onto a tyre that's had this gloop in it, and failed. Presumably this is the linseed oil soaking into the rubber.

When I say high value, something over ~£50 i.e. car tyres and the like.

Just my 2p.

Stop using the old style crap and you'll be impressed, its very useful stuff and does what it says on the tin :thumb2

Wheel Balance: Fastest ive ever been in a car with that stuff in was a calibrated ahhheeemm 140 ish and there were no more rattles and squeaks than normal, certainly no excessive wheel vibration :naughty

Punctures: Mine fixed fine last week.

Lot of internet myths about this stuff :thumb2

True - widely and happily used on the Z4 forum when runflats are ditched in favour of normal tyres.

I dont know what theyve been discussing do you mean they like the "gel" or "goo" ?

Theres lots of evidence of high speed driving with it in and no wobble generated by it :naughty

ps that includes bikes and the lads are unfortunate enough to be on BMWs at the moment. They just dont see the funny side any more of all the BMW jokes

LOL they get no sympathy from me as I too am on the butt end!

Mainly Tyre Weld.....theres also a BMW kit which includes a small compressor...not sure what thats got in it.

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

well, more interesting stuff, cheers for the input particularly daved, i know how he loves a good deabte :thumbs

a bit off topic but, last week i fitted new tyres to our livestock trailer, it took me a while to find some at the right price 8 ply 13 inch and they used to be so common, anyway t is an old Ifor williams, and the holes in the centre of the wheels are so big we couldnt mount them to balance them anyway!

So i cant see the gloop being an issue there + when towing with a commercial vehicl. with a gross weigh in excess of 2 tonnes on national speed limit roads (and a 4x4 pick up is a commercial) we are limited to 50 mph anyway, so high speeds again not an issue.

so i am still considering giving it a go, but at the moment i am alos considering new tyres for the truck :naughty so maybe i will spend the money on them instead

as i said off topic but sort of relavant? if not just tell me to shut up :doh
