Unfortunately the XM in question has no tax so a dolly is out, all 4 wheels have to be off the road.trooper30 wrote:Just as stupid idea Jim, but could you mabe fab up a dolly if you get the steel?

There are different rules regarding towing a broken down car & a non broken down car. If your using an 'A' frame it doesent need a braking device if it's a broken down car but if you were just transporting a car it needs to be braked if it weighs more than 750kg.citronut wrote: i think these days the towing device has to be braked,
The fact that the tax has run out I don't know if this would be regarded as a 'broken down' car ?

Hi Jim,
Like I said on the phone the other day, there's no hurry to move the car so if it needs to sit whilst we sort something out it's not a problem.
I'm amazed at how much of a waste of space these hauliers are turning out to be!
I'm waiting to hear back from the guy I contacted and will let you know when I do.
David.

Well, the plan to hire a truck and go all the way to Scotland was a non-starter with the hire plus the fuel and so on...
So, we have a new plan. Can't call it Plan B as that one hit the rocks weeks ago. More like Plan R...
Anyhow, not going to say any more until all is signed, sealed and delivered...

In a way Jim, I'm glad you didn't opt for the transporter route as I'm sure you would have been overweight and the consequences are not good.
£1 a KG fine IIRC that you are over the 3500KG limit, and then you have to get alternate transport back as they won't let you leave with the car on the back. All in all a very costly affair...we found out the hard way when our transport chap collected a Jensen for us...

Rather than the expense of a specialist transporter vehicle, standard vans are much cheaper. Hire one of them....
