Dad showed me how to check the oil, and its easier than I thought. My oil is as you say it should be - like runny honey, but slightly darker, I thought. But if it goes black looking I guess it needs changing.

Its been repaired to the extent where I can drive it, but the wheel, rim, and tyre still need replacing. It looks normal from all angles, so I don't know how a photo might help? I wish I'd taken pictures when it happened!

The tyre could have damage internally. For your safety, the spare tyre should be used and the damaged tyre moved to the spare, then replace ASAP. There may be insurance implications if you knowingly drive the vehicle, with a suspect tyre, not to mention everyone's personal safety. :Shocked:
