Sorry that we're too far out to help. Baxter and Burgo are local though, right? I'm sure they could bodge something between the two of them :thumb:
Why can't you get the RAC/ AA to pick you up? i thought you just have to wait until 7.30 or something?
**** man, I hope you get sorted ASAP.
isnt CP not far from there with a barn full of bits?
christ thats a bad one
Someone help the man! (and his wife & dog)
thats crap hope you get home mate.
does he use the gte 22 spline or the big block cv's
He uses 22spliners iirc Chris.
Christ, thats ****e luck Carl, just txt you, got no reply (then just read youve got no phone)
Surely someone near billing has a xe that he can borrow the shaft off?
Burgo, you got no shafts lying about??
If your still stuck Carl, i'll take the shaft off mine and drive it down to you
i would have brought one up mate but im on-call sorry buddy
an its not a 22 spline lol
no i dont have anything big block. if i did then i would have already thought of that. ive got tools and jack and that but no shaft
CP & Jim are on to it, gonna head over with a trailor to bring him back to Rifle Range Farm, probably never to be seen again.
If you are already rescued let any one of us know via PM.
Riggy is back at CP's Farm. The small block conversion is in progress ;)
Thats not good, will take him twice as long to get home with a small block in :dQuote:

Update:
Riggy and his mrs are finally back on the road. Should be back by early evening hopefully.
I've got all my fingers crossedlol
I'll let Riggy fill in the full story later but suffice it to say the self appointed 3rd/4th emergency services or wotever they like to call themselves were somewhat less than helpful.
niceone lads. rep coming all your way.
thats fantastic that someone was able to help out.
you are a star.
i had arranged to borrow the father in laws car and a trailor to go and collect him.
but big well done to cp, mc and jim for all there efforts
PNG the "reliable" emergency service. :thumb:
Good work to the guys involved. :thumb:
It didn't included breakdown in the £10 membership. Must have been in the smallprint. lol
Well done all round lads, glad to hear he is finally back on the road, didnt take long for the smallblock conversion then lol
Well Carl glad your sorted and back, but it's your own bad wishing
lol you said to me, i might ring work and blag there is something wrong with the car to stay an extra night..Doh!

spoke to riggy last night, he got back around 8.
seems like it was the inner cv, and the moral of this adventure is,
dont join the RAC
Moral of the story is "Join the RAC, but make sure you do it at least 24hrs before going anywhere" lolQuote:

AND he did wait 24hours, hence why he originally stayed an extra night
So the cover you get with most bnak accounts is a simple "We'll tow you as far as you could have pushed it" cover? :o( booo
I want a breakdown cover that is simply relay, I dont want them to try and fix it as if the car is that broken I have to call them, it means I havent been able to fix it at the roadside myself so they wont have a hope in hells chance either lol
depends on the bank account, i have always had full cover on my account, but then after speaking with riggy last night it appears i pay abit more for my account which would explain the difference in cover
well then boys and girls , what a weekend , just goin to start with a massive thanks to CP , JIM AND MC ,who without id prob be still there now lol , i owe them a big favour lol
well as said my cv seized on the m1 on the way home , so got towed back to billing by the aa , where i then joined the rac and payed in full ,
rang rac after my 24 hours for them to come out and say that since i was a member untill 27 july last year , i am not classed as a new member as i havemt been away for 12 months, and that the policy i was sold had a discount for a new member , thus ,making it void, total piss take ****ers ,
so had to extra nights , got to see the rifle range boys , and got in loads of **** of my boss lol , but nova is fime now , just been out for the last 2 hours and punished it , along with about £20 of fuel lol
Glad your all home now mate.
lol cheers mate
Glad to hear youre finally back dude, and i hope the boss aint too pissed at you, show them the link to this thread begging for help to prove youre not just paking the tiss lol
Whatever the outcome, I was hoping you wouldnt hold it against the car! ;)Quote:

My parents broke down 2 weeks ago en-route to taking my Mum to a hospital appointment, called AA, operator insisted they werent members & declined to help. As it happens, my folks do have cover via their bank account & my Mum raised all hell at the bank. Cue massive appology from AA & a book of vouchers etc in the post.Quote:

Glad you are home, sorry we couldnt help when you asked (we were the ones you asked on monday morning when you were carrying a lovely pink towel!)
