    The AA and RAC have got me out of a spot of bother several times over the years. Glad you got sorted.

    Oh Mark glad it was something simple and not clear out your van fund. Respect for buying the sand I would have gone with my bucket and spade down the beach lol . Thanks for another great Real video x

    All sorted thanks to the RAC mechanic who thank the Lord knew what he was doing..😀and as you keep telling people the importance of having a van fund..
    Also nice to see you were considerate of others and bought a bag of sand to cover and soak up the oil..
    Not everyone would have done that so thankyou..
    Take care Mark..🤠

    Thought it may have been a diesel pump or something a bit expensive.

    Thanks for highlighting the issue with split diesel. You are legally responsible for oil or diesel spills from your vehicle and can be fined for leaving them. You also used kiln dried sand which will soak up the spill within minutes and can then be brushed away and disposed of, unlike builders sand which as you will know is usually damp.
    Thanks for being responsible and passing on the word 👍👍👍

    Just subbed, as perhaps others did. So a silver lining at least. The RAC are very good to say the least! I’m thinking of renewing my membership with them.

Lucky I could make dinner and have a cup of tea, ended up calling police who then chased the RAC. Highland police are very different from Glasgow lol.Happy u r all fixed mate.❤️🙏

    Good job you weren't in the middle of nowhere on France or the Highlands Of Scotland when that happened.... Maybe you need to pick a bone with your mate about the size of the tube he used as that could have been a real issue depending on your location..

    Hi Mark, from Australia, just found your channel and love it, glad you got it sorted. We have road service here as well, unfortunatly in this woke society these days more often than not they are not allowed to do actual work on a broken down vehicle. We have to get extended coverage for towing as it is not unusual to be several hundred kilometers from a machanic. Being an Aussie I just love your no BS approach to your Vids. Cheers

    A bit bad, him not really seeing you running properly - he supposed to see you on the road again, stationary does not cut it but hope it's ok when you do decide to move on . . . Could have been a lot worse 😮
    GREEN FLAG are MUCH cheaper than AA/RAC - mostly ex- engineers anyway ... go ogle
