BMW dealers sell a puncture repair kit which is pretty good. I had the same thing happen to a new tyre once, plugged it and the plug lasted for the duration of the tyre. They only guarantee the plug for something like 100-200 miles at 40mph though. Other option is an internal plug done by a tyre fitting co. Depends how close to the edge of the tyre the puncture is.

I use one of those Rep+Air kits off Ebay, fixed loads of tyres using it and never had a problem, even at silly speed! Very Happy

Beginning to wish I'd not started pulling the Pan apart Nuts

A large part of yesterday taken up and it's only just getting to the finger squashing hernia giving (engine out) stage. Added to that, the ends of the collector on the exhaust turned to brown dust Laughing

Now I'm at this stage I can't even ride it somewhere to burn it without putting it back together Laughing . Going to replace throttle cables as they are a PITA to get to without the carbs in, more expense... then where do you draw the line? Should I be putting new carb diafragms in? Bollocks, I'll shut the garage and go make some sparks on roundabouts Laughing

Seeing as I work in tech support I should just listen to my own (usually time-wasting fob off) solution - "restart your pc, then call me back if it's not fixed". This is the point that I set a timer running and approximately 3 minutes later set my phone to divert to someone else Laughing

I'm confused as to why you would want to change the throttle cables and diaphragms.....if they're not giving problems, leave 'em alone.
Ah yes - rotten exhaust. Been there done that. Be aware that alternative makes DO NOT fit the standard pipes and/or collectors..... DAMHIKT
If you need any help and advice about engine out/in, gizza bell. There are a few traps for the unwary - again DAMHIKT
