You need to consider yourself lucky. From memory, I contacted friends while their car bonnet was up with an RAC man on site. Special battery needed - one that accommodates re-starting before moving from stationary - £320.00

Few years ago, the first day back after Xmas, when I was right on my arse , I put my last £40 in my van , thinking at least I will be able to get about. The van was diesel, I put in petrol. Now that was a c*nt.

At the weekend, a friend of mine was driving her Nissan Micra (£24K from new 6 months ago) when she hit a pothole and burst a tyre. So when did not having a spare wheel become legal ? And how come it is an "option" on a new car , that costs an additional £460 ?

He got a tow to Kwik Fit who fair play to them stayed open until he arrived. As a non driver that was the first I had ever heard of cars not having spare wheel the dealers had given him some rubbishy repair kit but the AA man just laughed.

This has became a nasty little trick from car manufacturers, we bought a new Renault 2 years ago and was told that all car makers are making the spare wheel as an optional extra, as boot space is a priority on all new cars. It also applies to some small and large vans If this is the case,
