Cabrio Zo Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Unfortunately not (can't buy our trailer until sold scooby) you obviously haven't got break down/recovery cover then? Have you tried searching on yell.co.uk? Or buy a rigid tow bar from Halfords Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk6 Si Ross Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 it'd probably be cheaper to join and use a recovery company (RAC,AA etc) than hire a trailer let alone buy one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 it'd probably be cheaper to join and use a recovery company (RAC,AA etc) than hire a trailer let alone buy one!!! and you'd have another 364 days of cover too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Not being funny but breakdown cover can start from as little as £35, there really is no excuse from not having it? I think it should be law to have cover as a car left at the side of the road is a danger to every other road user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort2kgti Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 well iv had rac for 3 years never used it so got rid of it just my luck car brakes down but then in the end its cost me £60 with fuel so still was cheaper than jion rac again mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Al, 35 quid only covers roadside assistance mate which in rich`s case was useless anyway, i think my rac is about 80 quid but covers recovery home anywhere in the uk & home start, i agree though that everyone should have breakdown cover, i just include it with everything else it costs to be on the road, a small price to pay for the peace of mind even if you dont use it, its there when you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
