I'm with rac but can't say I'm completally impressed. Used twice first time they took 4 days to get it back from Wales although we did have a courtesy car (which went in to limo mode!) second time they took 5 hours for a priority dangerous location (fast unlit country road and I had no lights.

Limp mode* I maybe wouldn't have minded limo mode!

cheers! Green flag want £55 for the year and the cover seems good. Just don't want to go for the cheapest option if the service is bad, hence the question!

Is your heater shutting off properly?
Jul 08 2014 08:41 PM -

I just tend to leave it on hot anyway

The heater is fitted before the thermostat. The thermostat might allow the water to hit 80 degrees before opening to allow the water to cool down in the radiator. If the water is at 60 degrees, its not circulating through the radiator but it will be going through the heater, if you're driving with the window open then the heater may be acting like a mini radiator and not allowing your engine to get up to temp.
That was a long post...
