We did the same at Manby, the RAC wouldnt tow us because they said we had competed!!
So I rang AA, told them I needed towed due to a blown head gasket, what turns up, a van. Waited an hour in peeing rain for a flat bed, who wouldnt pay he toll bridge so went on a 2 hour detour!!!

Recovery drivers shouldn't be on the tacho :?

Had my first experience with Green flag on Wed, I had to join MayDay because the 'van is so big and it's actually Green Flag, the GF won't recover the 'van :?   and they charge more :roll:

Anyhoo, left it 'till late then called for a recovery, expecting it to take an hour.  Top tip, I told them it was an auto and the head gasket had gone, you need to convince them you know what you are talking about but sure enough a flat bed was there within the hour.

Beats my experience with RAC, despite promising they would send out a flat bed they always send out a farty little van first.  I've been told it's because the flatbeds are subcontract and no-one wants it on their cost centre, so the cubefarm supervisor sends out a van and lets the mechanics supervisor get 'the blame' for ordering a subcontractor in.  meanwhile the customer gets to wait another hour or more.
