pogweasel Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 OMG how much is recovery / lift & shift these days???I needs to get my Maxi home, as I am not feeling very brave these days and saggy suspension and stood-for-three-years brakes don't sound fun. It's less than 10 miles, and the cheapest price I have got so far is £60. Chuffing ridiculous. Any bright ideas?I am gonna have to buy another A-frame I think.

garethj Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Towing bar? Cheaper than an A Frame as long as it stands on all 4 wheels.When I had my old banger shifted by recovery truck it was about £120 for 35 miles. Cheap it aint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Towing bars are arse, having bent one and had another one fall to bits at a very inopportune moment. Plus you need two people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 How far are you from Northampton? I've got to go down to Oxford on saturday morning and I'll be going via A43/A45. I could bring my A frame for you to borrow on the way down and pick it up on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Book it in with a local MOT station for a test. ON the way, just near your house, break down, push it onto your drive, and cancel the test........sod the spongy brakes and suspension..............who needs them?
