Default Thumbs up to the rac!

Okay not a great fan of the breakdown services I must admit after the aa advised me to drive home on a broken cam belt tensioner. But broke down today in my di vectra on a busy by pass with my son in the back and within 30 mins had a van come out and sort the problem (air leak in the injector valve hose) not only did he sort it but he followed me 40 miles home to make sure I got home ok top service

They want you to ring from one of those phones as it identifies your position exactly!
