But... There isn't any water in the tyres. I'm confused!

Smash a 12 point socket over it, works a treat. Just means sacrificing a socketRich B wrote: Sat Dec 06, 2025 10:24 am i had a puncture in the van the other day, no problem - i have a spare…
…except it’s attached under the back, with what turns out is 2 wheel bolts holding a big bracket/support. One of the wheel bolts is a locking wheel bolt, which i don’t have the key to.
I tried a can of foam to fix the hole, which did fuck all and then i called the AA. To be fair, i should have just done that in the first place, because the guy was there in 20 mins and did a plug repair on the tyre and we were on our way.
i now need to find a good way to break off the locking bolt.
Funny coincidence, Galaxy has been making it known that the battery is on the way out. Start/stop hasn't worked for months, and it is taking longer to start. This morning was the first time the start/stop wasn't available, so it is timen for a new battery. Will get one ordered and fit it.jamcg wrote: Sun Dec 07, 2025 4:39 pm Focus has been having starting issues, given that the battery is ford branded I assume it’s the original one. Been getting going with the help of a booster pack.
Popped to my local car parts place, he put his tester on it and it flagged it as bad and recommended replacement. They had a Bosch in stock for about same price as Tanya plus delivery charge, so new battery purchased, installed and monitoring reset, nice easy fix
