Q: How many motoring journalists does it take to change a tyre?
A: In this case, three. I would have figured it out eventually but it was nice to have a colleague plus a fellow 3008 driver parked next to me when I discovered the flat so I could borrow his manual (mine was at home). After some head-scratching the space-saver spare was on and the car mobile. The satnav’s ‘point of interest’ function was useful for researching nearby garages, but another I remembered, Norwood Tyres and Wheels, turned out best, suggesting a 20-minute £15 repair rather than a £210 replacement.
