so i just recently bought a used ikon 1.6 2k2 model from my friend. in 1 week i've had 3 of the 4 tyre positions punctured :(

the previous 2 times i happened to notice the puncture just in front of repair shops but this time i wasn't so lucky... was doing about 100 when suddenly i hear this sound like metal getting scraped and stopped immediately... front left wheel FLAT.

so anyway, i get out the step knee and jack. jack up the car completely and get the wheel out. then i tried putting in the step knee and would you believe the damn jack is fully up but i can't get the new wheel on because it's inflated unlike the flat one which was obviously easier to get off! luckily there was one of those little tempo trucks nearby and the driver loaned me his jack which did the trick.

i guess i'll have to buy a new jack :x

anyone experience this?
