Hi guys,

On my way to Gatwick airport the red light "check tyres pressure" comes on. The right rear tyre was starting to go flat and a huge bolt was sticking out !!! Very quickly I prepared to change the tyre while the pressure was mounting as take-off time was approaching ! Sadly I realised that I had wheel locking bolts and no adaptor for them!
I called MB assistance and my saviour showed up within 40 minutes!

I certainly cant complain! thank you! I did make it on the plane.... only just....

Also, I am pleased with the tyre pressure detector. I was given the warning sign well before the tyre was fully deflated.
Luckily, I had only a small piece of luggage, otherwise I am not sure where I could have stored my flat tyre... perhaps behind the passenger seat?


Good job I did not call the RAC... or similar

I am glad that everything turned to be okay, its a good thing that you left home early or else you would of missed the flight.

I know what you mean had first time experience with this, got my food through Costa coffee in terminal B a muffin, coffee and some biscuits as they weren't serving food due to a strike a couple of years ago.
