i could be wrong mate and it might be repairable but you won't know until you get it to a garage

well spare wheel is going on then, have to wait till i come back from vegas to get it fixed, should i change both rears or just the shagged one?

how much tread you got left on them?  if you got 5-7mm left then just change the one - if you got 3-4mm left i'd change both

Take it to your nearest Kwick Fit (spelling?). I had a similar problem whilst camping down Cornwall once. Got a huge b@st@rd nail stuck in the tyre when driving back to the tent It was in about the same place and they managed to repair it no problem!

safe well i just tried to get the wheel off but its stuck fast, the whole car was rocking while i was trying to get it off! so im goign to head down to kwick fit and see what they can do, how much did you pay to get it repaired out of interest?
