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.

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!

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...

I'm genuinely changing my email provider because every time I check my emails I can't stand the absolute DRIVEL that Yahoo puts out. JESUS. ''Kim Jong-un spotted walking with a limp'' and ''Who has the best goal face?'' are amongst todays popular articles
