Looks quite close to the edge, have a look at this and it may give you an idea but I think it would vary from one tyre fitter to the next ?

Depends what it looks like inside, if it's clear of the sidewall it should be repairable.

Yes it is but only by a hot vulcanised repair. If it were my car I would plug it but it should be hot vulc'd really.

Too close to the sidewall to be repaired ideally, but if it was mine i'd get it plugged anyway. Will save you the price of a tyre if it works, sometimes it does.

As a guide a would sort it if it was 1" from edge of the side wall if its through at a angle u might b lucky enough to get away with a plug repair.
