I’ll admit now that any man points I may have collected this year have been squandered today.
I was driving home from Cheshire yesterday evening with my dog who had been discharged from the veterinary hospital following surgery when halfway into the journey the alarm sounded to say the rear off side tyre pressure was falling. Usefully on the Discovery it tells you what the pressure is per tyre so I could see it was deflating albeit slowly. Problem was I couldn’t stop to change the tyre as I couldn’t get the pup out the boot. I topped up the tyre near Huddersfield on the M62 and managed to get the car back home still with 29psi out of the recommended 37.
This morning I went out and the tyre was pretty flat. I pumped it up with a bike pump and took it to Kwik Fit who were too busy to sort it. This is where I haemorrhaged man points and called Land Rover assist to change the tyre. I had been thinking I was going to be tooling around with a space saver but no, it turns out it has a full sized alloy spare so the car is back up and running and I should be able to get the tyre repaired tomorrow. Bit of a result all around.
