So I have a long journey coming up and was checking up on where my tyre repair kit was, as I'm sure I read somewhere that we had one?

The short version (after some Googling) is that some cars have one with certain tyres and some cars don't (mine included). It seems that you should have a tyre repair kit if you have normal tyres but won't have a kit if you have Bridgestone Enliten tyres with B-Seal technology.

Enliten
Bridgestone’s innovative lightweight tyre for reduced CO2 emissions and improved fuel efficiency. Enliten demonstrates a rolling resistance that is on average 20 percent better than a standard premium summer touring original fitment, and a reduction in weight that is 10 percent better, without performance trade off.

B-Seal
Part of Bridgestone’s puncture solutions portfolio, B-Seal is Bridgestone’s automatic sealant technology that guarantees air retention when nails, stones or other objects are embedded at up to 5mm in diameter in the tyre tread.

Might be worth a look as some people in some forums don't have a kit with normal tyres.

Hi,

Good information as when I bought my car, the salesperson thought the Q4 had the tyre repair kit as the last one he sold did! Eventually I discovered the S-Line and above have the B-Seal tyres, and all other versions have a tyre repair kit consisting of a compressor and sealant in the boot.

Thanks for that. I’m picking up my S Line 40 on Tuesday 😆
