It is not unusual for the police or VOSA to pay particular attention to recovery vehicles and cars that are towing a heavy load. Keeping the entire rig legal ie, no cracks in the windscreen, good tyres, working lights and clean condition will help.
Many people who need to transport a car think it will be cheaper to hire a trailer and do it themselves. In fact it can work out as cheap to get a locally car tranport company to do it. Phone around for a few quotes.
I have bought an old boat trailer on eBay, the trailer is solid and the running gear is in good condition but the trailer has no manufacturers plate or weight rating on it. So, my question is is the trailer road legal with brakes?...View Entire Thread
On this page you will find a list of Car Recovery providers operating in the Ilkeston area. If there are not enough businesses in our database covering this area then companies that cover the surrounding area and counties will be shown as well.
Lying on the River Erewash Ilkeston was traditionally a coal mining and iron working town. Strangely, although Ilkeston is in the county of Derbyshire, it is in fact only a couple of miles from the outskirts of Nottingham. For this reason Ilkeston is considered by the office for national statistics to be part of the Nottingham Metropolitan area.
