Recovery
 

I have become (more) aware of some of things that can cause a D2 to 'brick'. I am further aware that most of the members here can do all first line and much major maintenance themselves. I am not one of these.

I can probably arrange recovery if I know who to call.

Any recommendations?

Autoaid comes highly recommended and at good price. That's what I have but never had to use so have no personal experience at how good they are. Several possibilities for cover. I have Personal cover that covers me and includes free cover for partner in any car.

They tend to use local providers who often subcontract to the other big three in any case.

I’ve used AutoAid for many years (possibly decades) and I have had a few occasions to use them. They’ve been fine. One good thing is that they insure the driver, so you can be driving someone else’s car and it’s insured.

I will add that I ensure on every car I have the following just in case:

Spare wheel
Jump Leads
Tow Rope
Jump Pack
Slime Tyre Repair Kit
Zip Ties

I have RAC breakdown and only used them once, again as others I insure myself and not the car.

The above list has helped me and others over the years to get cars going or home at least.

Very many thanks for all your friendly and informed information.

Isn't this a nice place :-)

Anely and I both have this

included in the cost of our joint bank account, also provides us with our travel insurance. Combined, the £13 per month fee for this is much cheaper than breakdown and travel insurance added together

Spare wheel - Its a full size+++
Jump Leads and jump pack
Tow Rope
Socket & Screwdriver set
circuit tester
spare bulbs
Jetboil
Water
Sugar
Teabags
UHT Milk

I still have RAC All Europe cover on my car via my bank account but due to my age they stopped Travel Insurance so I just buy that short term as needed.

We have the same cover and the actual provider is the AA - -as I found out last month when i had a small issue with my F125! It also covers my Motorhome which being rather larger than a car is often excluded from cover with other providers.
