To change a wheel on a Mini Cooper, park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the handbrake. Position the jack under the lifting point indicated by the manufacturer and lift the car until the wheel is off the ground.

Loosen the wheel nuts with a cross or socket wrench and remove the faulty wheel. Place the spare wheel onto the hub, hand-tighten the nuts to secure it temporarily.

Lower the jack slowly until the vehicle is fully on the ground. Tighten the wheel nuts in a star pattern to ensure even fastening.

Check that they are tight before putting away the tools and driving off.
