    A deluxe puncture repair kit is about £2.99 in Halfords IIRC, includes tyre levers and lots of patches. Otherwise a new tube is about £4. Don't forget to check the inside of the tyre in case whatever caused the puncture is still there, otherwise you'll just get another puncture straight away. I've done that before- D'oh!

    heres what you do - shut down your computer, put all the little bits back into the box, thats everything, monitor, mouse instructions...all of it. and send it back to where ever it is you got it from because [as noted previously] posts of this appauling quality (or Un-Quality, if there was a word) is simply unacceptable.

    so without being rude; either wise up or shut up...

    I remember once I had a repair patch but none of that glue stuff, so I stuck it on with some superglue, worked fine till I actually tried to blow the tyre up D:

    Not a lot. Some blu-tac should do it.
