Don't forget it takes "THE BOSS" to fit them perfectly
Oh yeah, the BOSS, worth paying the price just to see it in action!
Is it true companies won't repair run flats now? Due to the unknown ( how long it's been driven and at what speed tec. ).From what I've heard as well run flats can't be repaired, but not sure if I heard that from Tony
-
£15+ vat
Ahh yes how could I forget the government's best friend........thanks Tony
-
Yep we can fit them £15+
Is that £15 + something or just a typo?
As long as it's not £15 + £50 then it should be ok
Cheers Tony, I'll pass that on so he knows for next time........

Can WIM fit run flat tyres to a BMW? Sorry if it's a dumb question but is there any actual difference in fitting between a normal tyre and the Bridgestone run flats fitted to BMWs?
Only reason I ask is that my brother a few days ago paid £270 to have one new tyre fitted to his Z4
Surely there must be another way! The tyres cost £190 from Camskill so all depends on the fitting cost.........
-
If this is the same stuff I've actually thought about buying in the past, then it's not an equivalent of tyre weld. It's something you put in your tyres when they're absolutely fine, and if you get a puncture, it seals the hole up.
I didn't buy it at the time because I didn't believe it could actually work, but now I'm glad I didn't buy it for a whole new reason!

Have you tried starting it using another car and jump cables? If it starts with no problems like that, it's probably just the battery........when was the last time the battery was changed?
-
I've just been through this thread (and a long one it is!) and the place is looking fantastic! Sounds like a pretty testing process but I can't wait to see it for real........well done on everything so far
-
That is good news indeed, thanks - will be in touch soon depending on the outcome of the claim, need to get the geo done anyway, so will do it all at once if required
-
Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure what the difference is!
Basically this is what one of my alloys looks like at the moment, I took it up to BJV Engineering in Herts who said that was repairable but I wouldn't mind a second opinion:
-
This is very good news, was planning on getting the alloys refurbed once I get a verdict on my claim with the council........
Can you straighten damaged wheels as well (in case the claim fails)?

I've gotta say except the really poor comfort, I don't mind runflats - a year ago my bro had a blow out at high speed on the motorway but in the car all that happened was we heard a loud "pop" and the warning indicator came on........that is life saving technology in my view.
I just wish they'd speed up on the development of them though to iron out the problems with comfort - cost is also an issue but as they become more widely used this will come down.
What I really despise is the more common trend now of the "space saver" spare wheel! What are you supposed to do with the real wheel once you've changed on to this? I'd probably rather have the runflat!
