I was saying to my Dad about your situation last night, as I know he's done several road trips and mayve been able to help.

Well, he didn't really have a cheap answer but he was saying about one of the roadtrips he did. Around sweeden (bottom to top and back down again) in a yellow mk2 escort Mexico. lol

Anyway, long story short is he purchased worldwide roadside/recovery for just £12 lol, he ended up snapping a leaf spring on a pothole, they had to get the part from England as they didn't really have fords in sweeden so the cover paid for the leaf spring to be airlifted to sweeden, couriered up to the garage where his car was AND a brand new Volvo courtesy car for the rest of his holiday!! lmao How times have changed lol.

Mine is for two days, with enough miles to get there and back, and includes European cover, I doubt at that price your allowed out of the uk.

I doubt it will be, you need European insurance coverage and other stuff.

Hope it all goes well in getting the car back, like I said before I am free Tuesday midday on. Two day driving and easy to get it back here. It's just the cost as always.

To be honest, I dont see why you dont just go out with some rockers and toolkit, if its just slipped the belt and smashed rockers, Could have that up and running again within the hour..easily...

Agreed, but if its not (haven't seen where they said that), its a long way to go to then fail at getting it going
