ha ha if I could I would - he got me discount when setting it up but then didnt answer his phone when broke down! I called AA & they got the nearest bloke out to me! I only need roadside and take me to the nearest garage thing, didnt want to pay extra for home recovery as can push the car 1/4 mile away for roadside :P

Just get the bog standard road side assist cover for about £60 a year or whatever it is. Then if it really is knackered or you break down at home and require a different service you just pay the extra then and upgrade. No point paying the whole lot and not using it.

I have RAC cover - called them out last week. Guy on the phone said they would be 45 mins and he showed up in 10 and fixed the problem on my wife's TT in a matter of minutes. Prior to L2B I called them out to the mini and the guys was again on site quick and got her running in no time (Coil problem). I never used to have any cover before this year so quite impressed so far.

Just be aware of the busses and taxis only roads, sat navs aren't normally programmed for that sort of thing.
