i completely agree with this, last year i seemed to go through a phase when i had at least half a dozen punctures in one month (local builder liked emptying his van at the end of our road) :D however, if i were to encouter the same amount with the new galaxy, i would be calling out the aa every five minutes just to change a tyre :D

hmmm, i'll have to look into this :ph34r:

It's OK for small holes (nails/screws/thorns) but not big ones. I bet a breakdown service wouldn't recover you if you had no spare. so when you use this stuff, does it mean that you would need a new tyre or could it be repaired? why do you say that about the breakdown service?

S-Max is bigger than Zafira though and much easier to get in and out of the 3rd row of seats. (personal experience and from the Top Gear review) yeah, this is the main reason why we are getting a bigger car than the zafira, we are just finding it too small. has anybody had any experience with this emergency tyre gunk?

because we currently own a zafira and like being able to fold the seats down without having to remove any, in the new galaxy, the seats fold down even flatter to make a very large boot (something i need from time to time). i also like the styling of the new galaxy and think thats its a bigger version of the s-max (was going to get this but is unable to cope with seven adults). :)

yeah, i'm talking about the new model of galaxy (the 2006 model). apparently the car does not have a spare wheel but instead has that tempory puncture repair gel. does anybody know if once you use the tyre gel, the tyre itself can be repaired or does using the gel mean that a new tyre will be required?

ahh, thats a shame. i feel i might have a challenge trying to source one. ford have quoted me arount

hi there, i'm currently in the process of buying a new galaxy (the new model). the thing is, i'm not too impressed with the lack of a spare wheel so i'm on the hunt for a spare. i think i may have found one suitable but before i buy it, i was wondering if anyone knew what the offset would be and what the stud diameter would be. i have sourced a 16" 2006 focus alloy which is a 5 stud with the following specs: Rim Width: 6.5J Offset:52 Number of Studs:5 Stud Diameter: 108 anybody know if this wheel would be appropriate? any help would be much appreciated. glen
