General Fix&GO replacement Canister

[ultrageek]

Hi guys.
Had the unfortunate experience of having a flat out of the blue. Thankfully, the Fix&Go was simple enough and within 10mins, I was up and running.

And so, dear Panda is now with a Fix&Go kit, but no sealant should I run into another flat ...again although the possibility of having another flat is remote (Been driving for almost 15 years, and this is my 1st flat!) but one never knows, right?

Been trying to search for this on eBay. No luck.
Fix and Go's website doesn't say whether it will ship internationally (Malaysia) either. So not much help there...

Anybody able to help me out here?

Thanks!
Kwan

Halfords sell the stuff, my not be named the same but does the same job. Remember to get a new tyre, that stuff is not designed as a permanent cure.

Scout,
That affected tyre was replaced 30mins later...

Now, am just hunting around for the replacement canister. Don't have Halford's here in Malaysia though. Maybe Ace Hardware...!

Thanks!

Nah not me, wouldn't use the stuff. I've a proper solution - a spare wheel!

So have I, it would just take me about 45 minutes to get all the crap out of the boot only to probably find that the spare would be flat.

I got solution for that too in my boot! One compressor. Maybe I should have joined the scouts!

I bought one of those fag-lighter compressors from the local motor factors. Other than buzzing like an early 90s Mancunian, it seemed to have no effect on inflating the tyre. I doubt it could blow bubbles (no, not the monkey).


Spare wheel is the best option for sure.

HI THERE
IF YOUR PANDA IS A MK3 MODEL, I WOULD ADVISE GETTING A FULL SIZE SPARE WHEEL AS I DID.I GOT IN TOUCH WITH A COMPANY ON THE NET CALLED opinion.co.uk WHO WERE ABLE TO SUPPY ME WITH A BRAND NEW 5.50 / j14. ET 35 FULL SIZE STEEL RIM FOR £35 POSTAGE FREE. I THEN WENT TO THE LOCAL TYRE DEPOT AND HAD A BUDGET BRAND NEW TYRE FITTED FOR £39 I PICKED UP A JACK AND TOOLS SET AT THE LOCAL SCRAP YARD FOR £10 TOTAL OUTLAY £84 ALL FIT WELL IN THE SPARE WHEEL WELL WITH ONLY SLIGHT PACKING REQUIRED UNDER THE BOOT FLOOR MAT AT EACH SIDE DUE TO THE VERY SMALL HEIGHT INCREASE DUE TO THE WIDER FULL SIZE WHEEL.A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR PEACE OF MIND,HOPE THAT YOU FIND THIS INFO HELPFULL

I've got both a spare wheel AND a compressor. Proper one too which can do from flat to full in 3 minutes. I use it at home to adjust the pressures as necessary when the car is cold.

just get a lada stirup pump
built better than a sherman tank

Full size spare won't fit in the wheel well, hence the need for a space saver.

Have you ever tried to talk to someone in Malaysia while you're in the UK?

Good point, hadn't thought of that.
