Car tyre flat a week after purchase!

Have you tried blowing it up? Remove the dust cap, place your lips tight around the shaft of the vavle and blow hard - repeat this a number of times.

Ignore everyone elses silly posts,I can categorically diagnose that a lack of air is the problem.

Not necessarily

What if hes parked in a pot hole?

Sometimes crooked dealers put cheap, faulty air in the tyres to save money.

The best way to check this is to let the air out of the other three tyres and check the tyre goes flat at the bottom.

Then a lack of tarmac is the problem.I'd suggest filling in the pothole to see if this cures it.

Ignore everyone on here and take it back to where you bought it immediately and DEMAND a refund.

Alternatively, go to Tesco and buy some Airwaves before you try and blow it up again.

Oh! And OP, it may be too late already, but if the car suddenly grinds to a halt and refuses to drive any further you might need to put some petrol in it.....:rotfl:

Thanks for all the post. Found them quite humerus. On a serious note though, what am I supposed to do now? Should I buy a puncture repair kit and attempt to sort this out myself or should I somehow pump some air into it and take it to my local ATS garage? and if so how?
