Hi, I just joined this forum because i was reading this discussion, Im nearly 41 and am myself looking into doing recovery, breakdown, dealership transfers etc so im guessin i will need an MOT on a vehicle, whats the ins n outs on the insuances that I would need? I do know from reading the discussion which ones I will need! If I was to get a transit with a 16 ft back would that totally limit what I could pick up, should I look into getting a spec lift? A 7.5 tonner what is the issues with them when it comes to overnight parking and using the tacho? Any help on these matters would well be appreciated.
