Range Rover Blues:
Actually this has got me thinking, I've called the RAC several times and always got home in the end, but yeah they are a bit hit and miss.  
Had a guy come out to me when the exhaust came loose, ended up having to do at least half the work myself,
Blew the engine in my Escort going to work in Hull, it was toast good and proper but they still sent a van out to check that having oil all over the engine bay and running on 2 cylinders it definitely wouldn't be repairable to drive back to Sheffiled!

A mate of a mate works for a Green Flag agency in Doncaster (think his dad owns it) and the pressure they put on them to deliver the goods is incredible. Of course he recomends them but to be honest I think he has a point and the reason they are cheaper is because the AA and RAC are also pressure groups, they act on behalf of the motorist to lobby parliament (though not neccesarily for 4x4 owners)

Indeed... part of the reason I wouldn't look twice at the AA is because of the anti-greenlaning stance they took a couple of years back.  The irony was that one of their booklets at the time had a picture of a 110 fording a river on the front it.

Range Rover Blues:
I'll remember that next time one of their patrolmen accosts me in Meadowhall.

Last summer in the S111 we popped a head gasket out laning. Managed to get it to a mainish road, called Brittania Rescue & gave details. 40 minutes the recovery truck arrived & loaded us up, took us back to the caravan site as I had told them we were some distance from the caravan. While chatting to the driver on the way we mentioned about the barbacue event the group were having in the evening & he dropped the L/R off & came back the next day(10.00am as arranged) & hitched everything up & off we went.
He dropped the caravan off at the in-laws were it lives & then took us & the L/R another 15 miles to home.  He wouldn't even stop for a cuppa so I gave him £10, what a star.
Unbelievably on our last outing with the caravan  in the autumn we broke down in Yorkshire again(alternatos siezed) , same firm,same driver " hello I know you don't I"  was his greeting. He did the same again & dropped the van off & took the L/R on to our house.
I would reccomend Brittania Rescue to anyone.----
P.S. Now bought a Rangie & I know nothing about them. Next caravan season !!!!!!!---Tony :D  :D

Range Rover Blues:
Rule Brittania!
