Could have bought a space saver and jack combo for about £270, but thought that was a little steep.

Understand no UK X3s have spares. Normal tyre cars get repair kit. Runflats don't ? as they can't be fixed safely after a puncture as detecting the repair worked is supposedly impossible. Correct me if I am wrong gurus.

However, if the tire has only developed a slow leak due to a small nail puncture in the tread area only, AND if the tire has not been driven any distance at very low pressure (heed your tire pressure warning system immediately!), a conventional tubeless tire repair (a fiber plug and an inside patch) would work as well as on any tubeless tire. The issue is one of liability of the repairing facility. They have no way of determining if the owner has really "only had a slow leak" and not driven on the flat tire. or has been driving for the last week at 0-psi and 70 mph, and has damaged the internal structure of the tire seriously, but still thinks the tire should be repaired.
