My tyre is very flat - what shall I do and how? No I'm not a mechanic!?
It's got locking wheel nuts. My rescue service has just expired last month. Typical.
Answers:
put on a short skirt and look all helpless, some hero will come and rescue you or you could try unlocking the wheel nuts the tool should be with your spare and have a go at changing the tyre yourself.
1. Un lock the nuts and loosen them with the tyre lever whilst the wheel is still on the ground.
2. now jack up the car and remove the nuts and take off the wheel.
3. Replace wheel with spare and tighten nuts hand tight.
4. lower jack on car.
5. Tighten nuts fully and re lock nuts
6. Take spare to repair shop and if you are unsure get them to check your nuts for tightness.
Good Luck

Husband? Boyfriend? Neighbor? Local service station? Find the key for your locking lugs before you call anyone.
yeah but its not flat at the top! ha ha
change it! you do have a spare? christ even i have changed a tyre in my best frock and heels! (not recommended though)
Your car as all do come with everything you need to get you going again. Check the owners manual, usually kept in the glove box. I am sure that you have a spare tire and those pesky locking wheel nuts have a special lug wrench that is located with your spare tire. Make sure the car is in gear / park and the emergency brake is set before jacking up the car.
There are instructions for changing a flat tire (or sorry..tyre) with your spare and jack. find the "key" to your locking lug nut and follow the instructions. Anyone can do it.
yeah!,i've got 'tight' nuts-lol
this has got to be a silly question as nobody in there right mind
would put themselves to open ridicule??
so my answer is phone a cab,before leaving in said cab
set fire to your car, claim a new car on your insurance flat tyre solved happy motoring
scream and scream and scream and then maybe cry, someone may take pity on you and actually help, god forbid.
another example of just how inadequate the driving test is. It should be a part of the test that the person taking the test has the knowledge of how to do basic maintenance and how to deal with such "emergencies" !
I had a car like that was driving around and three of the tires just swolled up never did figure it out
there are loads of tyre companies that will attend you where ever you are depending on where you live !
you will need to know the tyre size though its on the side of the tyre !!!
Get "Q" to invent you a self fixing tyre !! Oh and may-bey an ejector seat. fitted drivers side
The car will have a jack in the boot, jack it up, remove wheel. If you can't do this yourself (which is very possible) get a msae friend or relative to do sdo for you. Take the wheel to a tyre garage and get a used tyre fitted to save money or if you can afford it a new tyre (no point though). Then take back to the car and re-fit it. Even the weakest of wmen can do that. as long as you tighten it til you can't tighten it any more it will be ok. Remember unless it still wobbles off the ground it will tighten itself further under use. If the spares ok just fit that to it. If you don't have the key they're easy to get hold of. Cost no more than £8 from main dealer, or mst competant males could chisel it off anyway.
