How do i change a tire for a Renault Clio(3)?

So the tire had a little encounter with a nail and now we need to change it



Could someone explain IN DETAIL :D how to change it?

First find the manual for the car, and learn where the jack and lug wrench are. Also where the jack should be placed/



Place the bottom of the jack on something solid (patio block, short piece of 2x 6 And the top where indicated in the manual.



Either pump the jack or turn a screw clockwise (depending on the type of jack) Until most of the weight of the car is taken off the tire.



Turn to the tire and loosen the lugnuts (turn them counterclockwise) Do not take them all the way out, just loosen them



When they are loose return to the jack and pump, or turn until the tire is entirely up in the air (maybe an inch or so)



NOW remove the lug nuts and the wheel (be careful to grab the tire at the side in case the jack slips)



find your spare (again consult your manual) and bolt it on. (I hope you have checked air pressure in the last 6 months or so). Really lean on the lugnuts to be sure they are tight.



put the flat in your trunk or backseat and drive to a tire service place.



Smile nice and ask that they fix it and replace both the tire and spare.



Watch close so you can do it next time.How do i change a tire for a Renault Clio(3)?
if you can't do it then call out your breakdown service - if you have it. they will be able to do it! you need to be taught these things in person.
I would not dream of it, had enough problems with a bicycle tyre. Take the wheel to a puncture repair place.
get your local tyre fitters[back alley ones the best to go for]and give them a tenner and get a part worn one put on.
