Got a puncture today - too close to the sidewall for a repair.

New 195/55 16 Goodyear fitted by my dealer.

Drove home to find out that they (David Morrison - Kirkcaldy) have managed to damage my white Daytona alloy in at least 4 places.

1 MINI owner looking for a new dealer - going to try Menzies of Stirling - anyone know them?

Warning light worked and tyre performed well - we had to drive (carefully) about 25 miles and had no ill effects.

I had both nearside tyres maliciously punctured one evening, runflats. Drove on them for two days before replacements could be fitted, no problem. Car actually drives ok with flat tyres. Sorry Dave don't know Menzies.
