Right now thats got your attention.
On Saturday I had the misfortune to get a 2 inch screw in the tread of my Eagle F1's so had to call out RAC to change the tyre since havent got the strength in my shoulder to change it since the bike accident. But rather than changing it for the Original spare (Which is 2 years older than the car?) he plugged the puncher? Now I guess this wont pass an MOT but as luck would have it the MOT was a few days before the puncher but Im wandering how long it will last or would it be safer to buy new front tyres ASAP bearing in mind the tyres on it still have good tread left on them.
depends onwhat he plugged the hole with but i would treat it like the roadside tyre repair cans and get it done last thing you want is that popping out at 60.
change the tyre
Did he issue a certificate to prove the puncture was repaired to British Standards (or summat like that)? Most tyre garages that repair punctures will guarantee the repair.
Enjoy your plugging.
He used some sort of rubber bung type thing and said I could get it professional (he used the term loosely) repaired at QuickFit. But he also mention that he had the same repair done to his motorbike and it was still going strong 3 years later when he sold it and that he used to repair lorry punchers the same way with no problems.
Just pop it down to Quickfit and have them check it - shouldn't cost much more that £15 or £20 for them to redo it.
A puncture repair to british standards shouldn't be cause for an MOT failure.

^^^ I have never heard of this kind of violence before, surely punching a lorry would be really painful
PS If you want to know the proper spelling check the other posts

Your comment is neither constructive nor needed.
If you must know Im dyslexic and have to spell check every post with Microsoft Word to stop getting jumped up idiots making comments and it didnt pick it up. So your moronic comments dont help.

If that is the case I would get a new spell checker as the one you are using is obviously not fit for purpose, it missed wondering as well as puncture which are two fairly common words, you did use proper words in their place so perhaps a grammar check might be in order. Which means my post was helpful as it has highlighted the deficiencies in your spell checker.
As to whether my comments are moronic that is a different thing all together, are you saying that poor spelling is acceptable? (as I did not know of your condition I was trying to help), or are you saying that poor spelling is always to be blamed on dyslexia? Maybe you should put a notice in your signature to let people know you are dyslexic then we will not think you just can't spell
Ok fair point perhaps Microsoft Word is to blame for not spotting the Grammar mistake.
As for putting something in my signature about being dyslexic Id be glad to as long as you are happy to put "Argumentative idiot" in yours
Here is a little badge for you as well.
I wasnt aware you have to put EVERYTHING past the bloody Grammar police when you post on here these days. No wonder I dont post on here that often. I thought it was a car club forum but now I know it's a bloody English lesson.

Just to go back on topic, if a puncture is properly repaired then it is perfectly safe and legal.
I would put Argumentative Idiot in my signature, however there are two problems with that.
1. You started the argument.
2. I am not an Idiot.
Thanks for the badge, glad to know I am making a difference

Should that be "puncture" not pucture.
Well maybe I should have put puncher so that those with dyslexia could understand, I did however miss an n out which was accidental as I have spelled puncture correctly in previous posts, I will correct it straight away, and I won't be calling you an idiot for correcting me

Now that wasnt too difficult for you I hope... [Brick wall]
No it was as easy as correcting spelling and grammar mistakes, my multi-tasking abilities are amazing
I'm sorry I forgot you are perfect
Perhaps you would like to suggest to the IT bods to have a spelling and grammar check on IMOC threads so no one else offends you and your sensitivity to bad grammar.

Obviously I am not perfect, as I misspelled puncture
I don't think I need a spelling and grammar check, however maybe you should suggest it as it obviously rankles when you are corrected
Ok I apologise for called you a Moron & Idiot but at the time I didnt realise you where such a pedantic member or the Grammar police Perhaps now you have had your moment of thread fame we could get back to my original post.
for your information there is a plug-in for Firefox that checks spelling, I use it and it checks your spelling as you type posts on forums, quite handy.
