it is cheaper to buy the equivalent kit Porsche rebrand or the sealant separately on Amazon anyway

Thanks. Does the spare wheel come with a Compressor do you know?
Good to know app indicates one behind left-hand side panel in boot but I have never remembered to look!!

Yes, it did in mine. Has to, useless without it!

If you have a Spare wheel there already is a compressor in the boot (been there used it) so for a sealant kit you just need the Goo you do not need the kit which has a compressor.

I just bought a couple of cans of sealant/inflator and store them in the pocket next to the First Aid Kit.

I recently used sealant on one of the Yeti tyres Col and it worked well to get us home. The culprit was only a thorn! The problem though is finding a tyre company that will undertake a long term repair. Although the sealant manufacturer, Holts, claims the tyre can be repaired I’ve had two out of two refusals. One said they can’t flush it down the drain, the other said they wouldn’t know if there was another puncture which might fail later potentially making them liable. I’m now replacing the tyre but mainly because it isn’t clear to me how far the flat tyre was driven on (wife was driving!).

I take one of those on bike trips but wouldn't use one on the car for the reasons you said.

Hi Froggy,
Would you PM me please regarding the spare wheel.
Assume it's the collapsible one and unused?
Thanks,
Bob
