    In my experience they are a bunch of clowns, they look under the bonnet plug their computers into the car and then call a tow truck.

    Thanks for the suggestion paddedjohn. In their defence though, I have only ever been towed once and had cars fixed on several occasions.

    I have sought prices for temp cover and it would appear that I can get 24 hour cover for about £20. My own insurance company has a minimum period of 28 days and will charge £35 admin plus the cost of 1 months insurance, so think I wil give that a miss!

    Thanks for all advice received.

    Disable the car somehow and call the RAC and tell them you have broken down, free recovery to your home if you have the correct cover.

    Are you seriously suggesting the OP commits fraud just to save £20 or so?
