Wimpey are still going? Blimey, thought they were long gone..
Any problems getting it on the towing arms? Been with a lowered car when it needed to be towed and they couldn't get it on the tow arms.. doh!

Well myself and a few others had to lift the front arches to get it on, nothing major.
Should hopefully be fixed today. Im pissed off though as i wanted to go to the chesterfield meet.
Oh and just to clairfy (as i know you are all in suspense), Wimpy is open at Tibshelf Services!!

ahh crap. thats not good.
and is AA really that expensive? i was thinking of getting some cover but cant justify the need to.

I have Green Flag top cover, ignoring the fact I got it for free, and it paid for itself straight away. Could be that mine is the most unreliable Valver evAr though.
Ouch!!
Is that the all singing all dancing cover? Really lucky,cos every year my dad just hands over my mums rac card as she doesn't really go very far so when need be i ring up n pretend to be her....naughty but has served me very well....i think they wonder why though there's a 60yrold piling around invarious bright green gti's for the last 10yrs never question it though,thank god!
As for Wimpy there's one still in Streatham for the South London brigade,very good it is too,their burger sauce is legend!!!
Hope you get her sorted,just outta curiousity,the lowered factor of not being able to get her on the truck,assume if you got coilies you'd just jack her back up to 4x4height in such instance???? Plus point for coilies i guess if so...

never kept mine on road more than 6 months without a problem and i dont go far either - i darent - lol
mines done 900 miles in last 12 months in fact only done 5k miles in last 3.5 years since rebuild was finished
this is what we have,the breakdown cover is part of the whole additions account.mines only a 5iver if i stay in credit,theres legal cover for loss or theft of cards goods etc with it.so its not too bad.
oh and we used the travel insurance for our wedding last year too,not much more and covered all 4 of us.
oh oh got the car recovered from home to my dealership too,so the coverage is full monty too

easier said. imagine taking wheen off turning coilies putting wheel back on x 4, would drain your energy and AA guy would get pissed off with u lol, prob wont wait for u to do it.

At least you managed to get yours onto a truck, when my pedal box went i couldnt get mines on!
had to use the towing bar and its made a right phunk up of my middle grille between the fogs.
I'm sure you'll get it fixed no problems though.

True,but as the old saying goes"don't have a dog n bark yourself"...get him to sort it or help at least
or i'd have to play defenceless female cos sometimes you just have to and tbh i think it's expected
family membership with AA is good
bad when your linkages go, mine went a while ago, £20 to fix, but was a pain, as i drove home in 2nd gear

I think it was £100 because i was at the road side, and to be fair, they can charge what they like in that sort of situation.
As for getting it on the towing arms, i helpful chap with a silver mk3 cupra helped me lift the arches up as it was getting pulled on. The spiltter would have scraped other ways.
Oh, and the AA guy didn't comment on my wheels, he was too busy feeding me bullshit like "yeah i had a escort cossie once. I put 50k into the engine and 22k worth of ICE in it"
Oh and i managed to get the linkage sorted for nothing. The bolt had snapped so just replaced the bolt and hay-presto.
