For the small amount it costs a year to become a member and if you do have any problems they will bring you home on the back of a truck.

So for me its...

Yep, you've convinced me!

Driving around in a 30 year old vehicle no matter how well maintained is a gamble, I'm joining up today.

Thanks! :thumbup:

Funnily enough the longer tows have been in other cars not the zook.... most of the zook's call outs were "The alternator doesn't work give me a charge please"

Oh my! what kind of problems were you having then? I'm guessing mainly electrical?

Was it an SJ 410 or 413?

Thanks

Nah wasn't really that bad, but I did seem to have the biggest problems when furthest away from home. So was a good way to save on petrol :hahaha:
