I always carry one of these in case of punctures, especially in my weekend car which has no spare. Easy roadside repair until you can get a proper repair done.

Should not be considered a permanent solution but in when I was in Saudi this type of repair was the "approved" solution

Of course but not with cars that have the spacer in the boot , like an mr2 I once had .........

I checked my side-steps yesterday evening and noticed that the aluminium strip on the drivers side was missing. I do not know when it fell off, but at close inspection, I noticed that the rivets had corroded badly. If I hadn't read this post before checking the side-steps, I would have assumed that it was stolen.

I will have to get a new pair from the ebay site. 2008 TDV8, Java Black, Ebony Sports Seats, Side Steps, Zebrano, Privacy Glass, Premium ICE, Hybrid TV.
