My T25 doesnt have a spare tyre, so I carry a couple of aerosol inflater's.

IIRC, most (if not all) of the breakdown services say that you must carry a servicable spare, unless the manufacturer didn't provide one. If you don't, then they reserve the right to point and laugh if you ring 'em with a flat.
