This happened to me on my old Escort GTi in my works carpark, but lucky i had a spare, so i rang my dad and got him to bring it me.

defeats the object of having a spare!

when you get them both, take the spare off the set and keep it in the house in future

Just a little suggestion - can the advise for 'breaking in' be sent in PMs instead of a pretty much publicly available forum? half the country's budding pikeys are probably reading this too.
