Don't know whether you can still buy it, but you used to be able to get the black rubber solution/glue that was used to seal the rubber plugs for DIY puncture repairs.
I would use this in preference to silicone as it should give a more robust seal to the hole.


Can buy 'Tyre Filler' used in the HGV world alot, especially at MOT time!

I have had that problem too, But the tyre went flat, My tyre place had to send the wheel off to a specialist due to where it was. Sadly the tyre never held air as good as the others so it went as a spare. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Well a week on and the tyre has not lost any pressure whatsoever so I think we came through this largely unscathed...

The screw is now sitting on my work desk along with a host of other little memory trinkets... Empty can of Special Brew, that sort of thing... Whistle
