Wait an hour for a bloke who has no idea to arrive to tell you its f@@ked then wait another hour for a bigger van to take it away, in that time you can rebuild the engine and be on your way under your own steam with a huge sense of satisfaction!

When I broke down on the M1 jcn 16
I waited 2 hours they couldn't find me
But they did believe me when I said it was broken
(BGM stator, the rivets failed) and sent a flatbed.
The nice man said next time do a search for local breakdown/recovery and pay direct, he said £50 from jcn 16 to my house and no waiting :bouncing: :bouncing:

Or carry spares and tools and learn to
DIY
Wasn't someone like Mb or AF going to do courses at one time ?
