I have a tyre plugger kit, but also a spacesaver. On the basis that the spacesaver will hopefully never be used (and if it is, won't be on there for long), I went for one from ebay - I think it was a Chrysler Jeep wheel and tyre (unused) - there's a webswite mentioned on here somewhere which gives the correct dimensions of the wheels and then tells you what other cars use the same. Cost me £20 for the wheel and tyre, £10 for a new scissor jack (1.5ton) and about £10 for the correct fastening kit for the spare. Already had a couple of wheel braces, one of which was for an old micra so fitted perfectly in the spaces in the rear tray. £40 for the complete set seemed a very good buy. Problem with the gunk is that it will only seal smallish holes so a big hole will leave you stranded. Additionally, a lot of tyre shops will refuse to repair tyres where this has been used (don't blame them really having seen a tyre removed full of the stuff), so you could end up writing off a good tyre for a small puncture.
