oslin06 0 Posted March 7, 2012 I had a fan belt go in central London a few years back and called the AA, they told me there was 6 hours waiting, but as I was on double yellow the Police got there first, I told them it had boiled and the fan belt was gone and I had filled the rad up with pints of water from a hotel a few doors down, they said I could not stay there and they would tow me to the garage the AA would take me too, when we got there it was closed until the morning ! so they towed me to another garage and I got a fan belt, I tore up my AA membership card and joined the RAC who have been very good, I do not normally praise the Police but I take my hat off to these two guys and was very thankfull for there help, there not all bad after all :-)Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardH 0 Posted March 7, 2012 Don't get me started with the bloody RAC, I got my daughter covered as she lives away, she had a accident and rang me, I told her to ring the RAC as they should give her advice on what she needs to do, they just said "nowt to do with us" and left her there. I got in the car and drove the 100 miles and sorted it out. Luckily I still had 5 days left to cancel so rang them up and told them to shove it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
