does anyone know of a good reliable towing service company to pick our new van up?our tow car has borked again with an ecu fault and it could be the end of the week before we get it back.our van is all paid for, there was a delay in picking it up but now its good to go and it needs moved asap.
The bloke on gumtree has no slots for a few days and theres nothing on ebay local.
cheers in advance

Sorry it just occurred to me that my car has a 13 pin socket and your new 'van probably has twin electrics! Still happy to help if you can lay hands on an adaptor!

------------- If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
got her home today must admit the nerves were jangling at one point just after i pulled away but after a few miles felt a bit more at ease.
one thing that really annoyed me was the roadworks on the m8 they have a sign saying 40 mph,which i was doing.i had noticed there was a queue building behind me(contraflow system down to single lane) but not much i could have done.
after we got through the roadworks the cars all started passing as expected except for one bloke in a astra van who decided to pull level with us and start giving it the "nescafe shake" sign and the bird.
I guess he doesnt like being held up behing caravans then lol however Im not speeding for anyone far less a tube like that

Glad you got home safe with your new caravan. I am sure your nerves must have been bad. I know that after our accident 4 years ago I am an awful passenger!!.Today we came back from the weekend away at Tarland and I actually relaxed a bit better, only thought about it once when we passed the spot it happened.
Hope you are able to get away for the weekend soon, were you not off this weekend being the Fife holiday weekend. Looking forward to our summer holidays now.
