Had an issue with the front left wheel today. Following fitment of the driver side driveshaft last night I took car for spin. Ran perfectly.

This morning took it to work for another spin and while driving on a round about the wheel went flat and rolled in towards the inner wheel part of wheel liner.

Suffice to say the rim meets Tarmac and result though not do good may have lead to a worse incident of going into a kerb. Luckily spare changed over in under 10 mins with wheel left off at aic wheel refurb place to get patched up.


Turns out the tyre went over a large nail leading to rapid loss of pressure.
Lovely!
