Default Tyre repair

I recently bought a 2016 xc60 in the uk that allegedly had a tyre repair kit listed in the specification. As I live in france and that was where the vehicle was going this would have caused a few problems for me. Here when a car is repaired with a kit the garage has to have a permit to dipose of the sealent.
Not all garages are permitted to dispose of the sealant, and most wont even bother now because of the regulations. So the alternative is to fit a new one. Once a garage has started a job you can forget changing your mind and taking it to another. Again this is regulations.
Happily for me i was delighted to find when i picked up the car that it did not have a kit but a space saver tyre.
