A few of the 'bigger' recovery places (for vans) are;

Celtic Recovery 02920 496580
Dragon Recovery 02920 448999

Hope those help, not in Cardiff at the moment to assist I'm afraid

We;ve tryed Adam and his van is too small to recover a MWB van...

Has anyone got AA membership for a fee we could use? |If we join now its still going to take another 12/24 hours to get recovered home.

Just phoned, sorry I couldn't help in any way. Thought I'd phone just incase you still needed a lift into Cardiff or something

Could try Baylis recovery, although not sure quite how far they would take you? 0800 389 52 61
They are more of a scrappies than anything but they did come to get the Golf I scrapped the other day on a lorry that would be pleanty big enough for a LWB Transit.

Could also try Chris Spitery - 0500 911 111 They specialist in recovering large vans & lorries.

Cheers guys for those who tried helping its very much appreciated

tried using parents RAC details they came out checked over and were about to get a recovery truck out but as i didnt have any id with my dads initial on it refused then said could do it for £460
Eventually got Sticky and Gray B off into cardiff to get the train home
