cheers Pete, is it worth getting RAC to drop it in for you perhaps??

makeitfit · 30-03-2010, 15:39

I guess this a tow in job then

If so surely you only need drop the back prop if it's not in 4wd and you've got auto hubs

Oh yeh, it'll be dry under the truck

Wouldn't putting the transfer box in neutral ( 4x4 lever position between hi and low) disconnect the drive for towing, anyone know? bri

Get a friend with an all vehicle recovery policy to come round and get you towed in.

No problem with your decision. The gift was not contingent on you going postal on the scum who ripped you off. It was so you had the option NOT to

zippy656 · 30-03-2010, 18:05

any aa members can do that

briggie · 30-03-2010, 18:51

i borrowed our lasses disco ( am i forgiven ?

) and i popped into the garage to " enquire " , they said they really didnt want to drop the props while it was raining so heavily , but if its not too bad tomorrow , they plan to tow it slowly without dropping the props ( is that safe ? )
