Tyre Change Tips

[Clare Butterfield]

Hiya.
New to the forum. Had a flat tyre, slow puncture this weekend. My husband was horrified that I wasn't sure how to change the Tyre and has shown me now. However I wondered if anyone had any further tips for me. I have a Scenic 2.
Many thanks.

Tip 1: never let your spare tyre go flat

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Basics for me are knowing where the bonnet release is, and which fluids to check under the bonnet.

I keep one of those pressurized cans ( puncture repair ) in the boot. It's a temporary quick fix to get you home but if you unfortunate to get a flat on a windy cold wet winter's night and the rains driving in horizontally, you might be glad you have one as it takes only seconds to seal and re-inflate the tyre. There are limits though to severity of the puncture it can seal, if the tyre's hanging off the rim, you've no chance.
