A puncture kit is no use if there is a hole in the side wall of the tyre or the tyre has shredded as it likley to happen if doing 70 on the motorway and you get a blow out.

Suggest getting a spare wheel and tyre asap.

It is very short sighted of LR in not supplying a spare wheel but good business if you buy one direct from them.

If it is only a spare to use in an emergency it doesn't really matter what style it is as long as it has the right specs for your model.

As you didn't specify a spare wheel as an extra, I believe you will now also need the tool/jack kit, as that doesn't come with the puncture repair system which you say you have.

It's probably cheaper to buy a small bottle jack from Machine Mart or similar, rather than an OEM jack. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Remember, not only are there a lot of punctures that it can't fix, but it also shouldn't be used on a car that's pulling a trailer and it may make the tyre irreparable.

Glad you like your new Freelander, I'm still waiting for mine....

Have a look in the For Sale Section on here. There are often 17 inch wheels for sale.
