Guys,

 

Yesterday driving home I had a blow out, not a slow puncture, just "buff" and then a "rumble rumble"............going through Market Harborough...

 

Anyway, I pull into a side thinking "f*ck!" and get otu to have a look!

 

My passenger tyre blew out but this is what happend (see image)...

 

Now, the rest of the tyre is good but it looks like its been rubbing for some time but I never noticed it before? Does this happen on anyone else's? My tyres are 225/40/18 on the front.....

 

So, I call the AA as I dont have a jack in the car (soon to be addressed) and he comes along and proceeds to jack the car up, after wedging a cheese?!? under the front wheel to raise the car. He then puts the trolley jack under the door pillar and starts to jack, then, theres a sound and my wing pops out!! :shock: :shock:

 

I told himt o slow downa nd he was really apologetic but he says the lip underneath has crumbled and this is whats happened. I, shocked, checked the other side and it looks like this side is doing it too!! WTF????

 

I take it this is a common Zed problem, well for UK cars anyway!!

 

Any ideas how to get around this? How to jack my car up without destroying it?? And how to sort me wing??? :cry:
