Broke down in Gloucester/Cheltenham

[Fez_uk]

Im with stinka never had breakdown cover waste of money.The aa wouldnt have fixed his truck.Been driving 25 years never had call for breakdown just think how much 25 years of breakdown cover would have cost i could pay for a lot of recovery with that.

Yes but do you do offroading? Pay and plays etc? Stinka does.

They will recovery you to your home (if you have that plan), Never said they would fix it.

I've used recovery twice in my 4 years or so motoring. So far it's payed off for me.

They charge something like a £70 callout fee + £2-4 per mile.

if you have still got auto's on I would remove the of side one for a while to test, if the hub runs normal then most likely auto hub in need of grease but you need to take the multi turn circlip out to separate the two parts to clean and grease em, but easy enough, oh and if that stub axle has got that hot and been attacked with a grinder, fit another before you go off road again, Rick

Pretty sure hes on fixed hubs

mine and the wifes comes in with our insurance, about £40 a year each, have to say only needed it once, broke down with a late model Range Rover on the approach to the Blackwall tunnel, fly by wire pump failed, recovered back to Bexhill no probs still cost me a grand for a pump plus had to have Rover computer to set it up, sold that motor pretty quick, most expensive motor I ever owned and cost more than any other for repairs, Rick

My daily driver is a fourtrak hence no need for breakdown cover.
Yes i can see if you drive a landrover then there is definately need for it:jesterbg

if so does not sound good for the repair just done, but he could have a tight brake, hopefully, Rick

First time was in the maverick. 2nd time I could of got home but didn't want to risk wearing my tyres out.

Come where I drive, It won't last 10 seconds. :lol

Just got here

Took it steady for 100 miles until A30, then I thrashed it to death, hard long corners at 90mph, checked again when the kids had a piss break and it was fine, Luke warm like the n/s

I think the 3 hours of 80mph thrash would have shown up any problems, so, I'll see how she goes. When i get back I'll give it death down a few of my favourite rutted tracks to force any weak points to break

no but it may have cost a lot to tow it off the motorway.
I haven't used them much myself but I feel better having cover.
I swap companies every renewal to get the best deal.
probably green flag next time.
