Title: YPLAC
Post by: 78bex on 28 May 2013, 22:52:37: YPLAC.....Crude but to the point (google it)
I parked in a multi-storey c/p today with the n/s inches from a side barrier. Got back to the car & someone has neatly boxed in the drivers side. >:( So I walk down to tesco customer services & ask them to page the driver. Wait 40 minutes & nothing happens >:( Walk back & complain again. Nothing doing. Tesco security are very helpful & do nothing >:( >:( Hour & half later still nothing. wait a tad longer for my brother & his daughter to arrive. It looks impossible, but she can just get thru the rear door opening into the back. As quick as you like she has the drivers seat sorted & a petite 14 year old is backing out one heavy long silver mig. :y :y

Don't think so on the Omega, can on the Jag ;)

No, not on Omegas, but I know that later Vectras can perform the trick. :y

You have to replace them once the air has escaped, otherwise you could be charged with criminal damage :-\

If the valves are intact it us merely unfortunate that all the air is outside the tyre rather than in it ::)
