Hey folks, does anyone know where I might be able to get a punture repaired in brisbane today (kinda late:mad:) like now - suppposed to be meeting people at 6.30 in the morning, in the process of doing pre-trip check and got a puncture in the driveway. The spare is different enough not to want to use it for the trip - fine for short distances though.

Its not in the rangie - have plenty of spares for it.

Probably a bit late now but most auto-shops sell tubeless plug kits. Maybe one of the bigger servos might sell a kit too.

Thanks, we had one which we've tried, will find out in the morning how well it worked - they are apparently illegal??? - this is according to an ex racq friend.

Those plugs are a legal temporary fix. They are not intended as a permanent fix but are perfectly legal. You are supposed to take the Tyre to a repair shop for the permanent fix.
