Tyre Sealant Repair Kit

newatc

My 2012 Honda Jazz has a Tyre Repair Kit but the sealant has way passed it's use by date. I've never had to use the kit but I looked at Youtube videos and I gather my kit, which involves removing (and later attaching) the valve insert (never heard of such thing until day ), is rather outdated and has been replaced with kits that integrate the sealant operation and the air compressor.

Assuming that I have got the above right and taking into account that I am cack-handed ( I make Frank Spencer look a genius) is it worthwhile buying a more modern kit rather than just replacing the sealant?

I have bought replacement kits, twice off eBay, for Honda cars. 

Attach sealant to tyre, attach other end to compressor, plug in compressor and wait until tyre inflated.

I have also used orginal kits on a Jazz older than yours with no problem

Thanks Oldnonethewiser

Think I found the perfect solution for me which is Slime Assist Car Tyre Sealant which I think I can use with the existing air compressor and make it simpler for me and less expensive than replacing kit. Will visit local Halfords to check out.

My Mazda has a compressor which is great as you can do your tyres for free regardless and the sealant stuff. I bought generic stuff off Amazon for a bigger bottle at about 1/2 the price Mazda wanted for an official one. I keep the expired stuff as an emergency in case I use the current one and then need another fill up before I can get it replaced.
