Highway code rule 277 says (in the context of driving on a motorway and having a breakdown and safely making onto the hard shoulder):

DO NOT attempt repairs on your vehicle

the assumption being that you have a working mobile phone, or can safely get to an emergency phone.

I have certainly changed a wheel on the M3 when I was much younger. But there are many things I did when I was younger that I would never do now.
