It is far cheaper to buy breakdown cover in advance from one of the major providers (AA, RAC, Green Flag etc) than to have to pay for recovery when your car actually stops at the edge of the road. You can obtain breakdown cover for as little as £30.
You do not necessarily require a very large electric winch to recover cars onto your transporter. Smaller 4x4 style winches will do the job but be aware that the drum speed may be much slower than that of a larger winch.
I have a bubble shape Rover 214 and I am loosing water and getting steam in the exhaust. I spoke to my local garage and they say it will be the head gasket and they want £400 to fix it. Is there anything else it might be or do I just have to take it to them and pay up?...View Entire Thread
