    2013 Freelander II TD4XS Nail / Bolt in Tyre

    No spare wheels were supplied when we bought this new. The space in the boot is filled with a spare tyre shaped polystyrene insert. Anyway my wife had to drive it slowly to ATS and I await the answer as to whether they plugged it or we ended up with 2 x new tyres?
