Gutted for you mate, have a look at Potholes.co.uk, you may be able to claim.

[Euan]

Cheers didn't know there was a site like that.

Did it happen in Scotland, im sure I heard Alex Salmon say "A vote for an independent Scotland is a vote for the abolition of potholes".

Forever swerving potholes and sunken manholes covers me
Must look right funny if behind me
Become a hobby now lol

Haha, worst thing is I don't have a tyre iron or a jack so I phoned the guy that services our cars so he's gonna come down tomorrow to take the wheel off. I'm missing out on glorious driving weather today lol

I know the feeling... had a puncture in the racing a few months ago, didn't want to use the goo to fill the tyre with the tyres being around £180 each to replace. Taken home on the back of a tow truck with a crazy driver that didn't stop for a single red light and after all that i had to do the same as you and get someone out to replace the tyre anyway as i don't have a jack or spare tyre.

It's awful. Tempted to buy a jack and brace online as well as a spare wheel. I feel like I've lost a limb when I don't have my DS3 lol

[Ollie92]

Haha yeah i just don't want the weight of a spare wheel in my boot :P

Helps with the grip on the back end- less twitchy. Safer i feel.
Got a full size spare in mine. Increases the petrol a bit, but acceleration seems fine

[Superfly Guy]

If anybody can show definitive evidence that the weight of a full size spare wheel has a noticeable negative effect on fuel consumption, il eat the pillow I'm laying on.

[Chris_Blue]

Hope your right SFG :-)

Physics is physics, the laws are the same throughout the known universe including the boot of a DS3. Its a statement that comes up on various forums again and again, "Is it more economical to run my car on a full tank of half a tank". Every 12 months somebody thinks they are the first person to think of the idea and posts it up.

Just saying like.....................

[Chris_Blue]

I'm sure the effect on extra grip is minimal too, but think I would prefer it
Oh- and having a full size spare LOL
All this goo box stuff- its just to cut the cost for the manufacturer, and increase them for tyre manufacturers and fitters
My personal view obvs ;-)

[Superfly Guy]

My dad bought a proper spare for his Mazda 6, he isn't a fan of the goo.
