I replaced my tyre gunk with a Skoda bottle for half the price Porsche wanted. exactly the same stuff, same bottle, same manufacturers part no - just a Skoda badge instead of porsche. 
 

halfords etc sell suitable inflators. 
 

Or just get yourself one of these terra-s kits:

Don’t suppose you have the part number for the Skoda kit you bought?

Sadly not, as I sold the car with the bottle in it last May, but I found this on eBay:

and I think I’m right in saying that the TERRA-S product is actually what many of the car manufactures use anyway, so could just get a bottle of that instead from Amazon for <£30

That tyre sealant is hit and miss in my view. Most of the times I've used it (new sealant) it doesn't seal. And my tyre fitter refuses to mend puncture on account of the sealant inside the tyre, which necessitates purchase of new tyre. Anyone had similar experiences?

Same, better off carrying puncture repair (I use the same kit as I have for my motorcycle as it's compact and works, although the times I've used it on the car it's needed replacing with a proper car tyre repair (with needle) as they've slowly leaked. It would get you home though (combined with an inflator)
