BMW Mobility Kit Special

Breville · 03-04-2009, 10:19 PM

Hi guys, I picked up a mobility kit from Col Crawfords this morning and got it for $90, as opposed to $130 or so. Apparently there is a special offer at the moment. So if you're after one call your dealer to see if they still have some in stock...

IS THAT THE ONE WITH A CAN OF GOO AND A COMPRESSOR?

Breville · 03-04-2009, 10:50 PM

Yep, apparently you can also use it to re-inflate your blow up doll Bob, so you'll want to get one

takahashi · 03-05-2009, 01:04 AM

$90 is reasonable.

Zuzu · 03-05-2009, 04:31 AM

Duncan, I rang Sylvania BMW and they still want $140 for the kit..

Tried to BS me that Col Crawford is selling discontinued or expired stock.

Breville · 03-05-2009, 05:53 AM

Col Crawford told me it was a limited special. If the can of goo is date limited I will check in the am..

Can of goo does not have expiry date on it however BMW spares guys mentioned that typically they replace (or should replace) the goo as part of regular service every 2 years.

Thanks for the heads up BTW, I got mine this afternoon.

I paid $9.95 for my tyre repair kit. Juts attaches to the nozzle, use the whole can and away you go...

Add1ct · 03-05-2009, 10:28 PM

wow really what kind did you get for $9.95, did it have a compressor?

Kris · 03-05-2009, 10:30 PM

No compressor. Its just this goop that u spray inside your tyre using the nozzle. That repairs the whole. Won't stop the loss of air though..

Add1ct · 03-05-2009, 10:43 PM

wait so it will stop further leaking though right, so you only lose what you've lost so far and then can get to a gas station put in some and get home (or to safer area) to have it fixed, or can buy a mobility compressor cheap on here or ebay or something and use the stuff you have

what's it called

oldman · 03-05-2009, 10:44 PM

I'm like you Kris. I carry one of these from Supercheap.

Kris · 03-05-2009, 10:55 PM

Mine is 100% identical to oldmans'

I didnt know it blows the tyre up too!

Add1ct · 03-05-2009, 11:05 PM

wow so it blows it up too, no need for mobility kit then eh?

oldman · 03-05-2009, 11:11 PM

Yep... and I assume it does what it says, but have not had to use it yet.
Pyroil is quite a bit company I think. In fact, I think they are now part of Valvoline.

Add1ct · 03-05-2009, 11:24 PM

where'd you get it, I see you are in australia, so it's probably going t be a different brand here- I'll look to see if there's a valvoline brand- does it require you to remove (unsrcrw) the valve mechanism or just spray it in? this looks pretty cool

oldman · 03-05-2009, 11:39 PM

We have an automotive chain of stores here called Supercheap Auto
http://www.supercheapauto.com
They sell it here and I know it's also sold in New Zealand as well.
You may be out of luck though because the Brake Dust Wheel Protector sold here is not available in the USA through the same company that sells it here.

haha I wish we were like that too still

AussieRacer · 03-06-2009, 03:49 AM

I just have the slime version. Same same as BMW, and only cost me $49 for the bottle of goop and small compressor. Fits perfectly beside the battery!

I still have RFTs, but not sure for how much longer with the way the rears are wearing...

Add1ct · 03-06-2009, 10:11 AM

so cool it fits in that space, that's what I think I'll be getting too, yea the rear tires wear out fast on these cars, and on my last bimmer too, I think it has to do with the fact that when there is 50% of the weight on the rear combined with them being the drive wheels, because my experience is that they wear nearly twice as fast which they didnt on my mustang gt- and well there was only like 35% of the weight in the rear on it- if even haha
