Ah understand now, I bought something on ebay, luckily tracked and it didn't move for a couple of weeks, until suddenly one day it arrived.

Spoke to the company yesterday, very helpful they are sending me a new one and Apologised on Royal Mail's behalf.

Hopefully Suzy will be fixed this weekend.

If it doesn't arrive before you need it, send me a PM.

Can I just say that the Dynaplug system is a must have ........ I was going to do a quick how to video but the repair took 10 seconds to do so it would have taken longer to set up the camera than to fix the problem.

My new portable compressor worked a treat as well (automatic cut off)  :thumb: , I shall be purchasing spare plugs now for the just in case scenarios.

Witchcraft or not ... it'll do for me .

I'll never worry about a puncture again Martin. .... There is another video somewhere where he fixes a puncture on a huge JCB tyre.  :thumb:

I went for the Pro, as it's made from stainless steel, and it came with extra repair plugs, in fact this one, from this seller:

The same as oop north posted Locky .... I got the slightly cheaper version from them (just to see what it was like) .... but I would be willing to get the Pro version as I will now be ordering the refills  shortly  :thumb:

Sorry to be pedantic but it is made from ali, it is the insertion tube that is stainless as it is on all models.
Too young to be in care, too old to remember why.

You're right, the one I had is the stainless pro, like this one:

but which I didn't pay as much.
