The RAC came out to my car, had done 12 miles on a new engine/MOT new auto gearbox, when the gearbox gave up!!
They sent out a truck to recover it, we had to use planks of wood from a nearby farm to get car on truck as the truck had such a angle on it.
The car(mondeo)was std bar the alloy wheels so was not low or anything a 2.0 ghia.
Anyway get car on truck, and the idiot places the BUCKLES of the straps across the wheels, so all four were gouged by time we get to Erith, KENT(from norfolk), I refuse to sign the sheet saying I am happy and put down about the wheels damage(had only done 12miles), so later when I complain they(rac contractor) produce a sheet saying I was happy!!
All they did was another sheet and forge my signature, which was totally different, even sent a copy of my signature from my license to rac to show but they sided with contractor they now don't use!!
ON the way this man who told me he was an ex trukkie, asked me the direction to DARTFORD, from fiveways RA, it is bloody signposted london!!
The truck did 42 mph flat out, on the long hill away from the RA at Barton Mills(fiveways) it did 17mph uphill flat out it was knackered.
My dad had a breakdown fuel pump on his SD1, which are in tank, they(RAC) sent out two people to try and fix it despite being told it was the pump, then 5 1/2 hours later a truck arrives from BOSTON some 80 miles away.
WE now don't bother with them, and just phone up each other/friends if necessary and use a tow pole, so much quicker.
