I've got a 52 plate 3.0 V6 Spider and had a flat yesterday evening. I expected to find a bottle of tyre-weld in the cubby but instead there was a 12v inflater pump and a bottle of yellow gloopy stuff, oh and an assortment of nozzles and tubes! The real problem though was that the instructions were only in Italian and for the life of me I couldn't figure out which nozzle to screw where in order to get the yellow gloop into the tyre before inflating it!

I know there are a few peeps on here who work for Alfa dealers, (Pwig?) so can I ask, is this standard or have I somehow wound up with an Italian kit? confused Rich...

p.s. the cars on my daughter's drive so I'm going back today with a proper spare and didn't need to fill the tyre with gloop, and for the future I will buy a can of tyre-weld.
