Dean Saff I tried the AA - phone was just ringing

So as I am with dominion, I get freeway rescue - so called them.

The only other option would be straight bar, so glad he had a trailer, much easier.

Why do peeps only replace them when they snap
If you don`t know when it was changed last buy a new one only around a £10.00 makes the pedal feel loads lighter i would recommened to anyone change it you won`t belive the diffrence

Phoned the AA and phone was ringing you sure you phoned the right AA

Also if you use a stright bar restrictions are 30mph for max dist of 30miles

But if you ask me I wouldn't even temp that as I did and my transfer box said, see ya...

I called the number on the back of my card, so I would hope it was right lol.

I was only 5 mins from home, on local roads so a bar would have done the job.

I can guarantee that a bar tow will not have damaged your transfer box though mate 2 wheels raised and 2 on the ground will, but not a tow.
