I have RAC cover which is option 3: Roadside, Recovery, and at home.
They say they will recover up to 8 people to a uk address.

Surely this is the cheapest option...........????

if its just a knocking engine, get a one way plane ticket up there, drive it back carefully, and if you make it back to essex then its all good, if not, then phone the rac wherever you make it to!

Just tell them the brakes keep going, so oong as it has a tax disc the operator won't give a poo, as he gets paid whatever.
This they will not want to chance as the result if you had an accident ?
