Hi all

Got the Cooper back this evening after the small accident:I

While driving back home the runflat indicator started to flash and sounded.

Now, me being a complete thicko..........how do I know I have a flat with a 'runflat' tyre? What does it look like? How do I know which one?

I can hear no hissing etc.

One other thing to point out is that scuffs on the alloy were repaired along with the bodywork........connected maybe?

Ansewrs on a postcard please........preferrably this evening :p

Cheers

Ken must be hiding tonight, ah well
Go and check your tyre pressures and confirm they are correct or adjust as required, then, with the ignition on press and hold the tyre switch that is directly below the handbrake, then, even although the light may still be on drive off for 200 yards or so to allow the sensors to react :)

Also, keep an eye on the pressures, if one is really low then check often to find out if it is indeed punctured

Not hiding - just back from LA :cool:

Scary seeing MINIs over there next to those enormous SUVs on the freeway.

Bonnie Scotland's were of course spot on :)
