I am sure all you experts will come up with very good reasons why this cannot happen. Over to you.

The devices look pretty good but I have to admit, that on a bongo I don't reckon they are finaically viable [-X

How much did that little Whoopsy cost you though Cat? A tank of petrol & "mates rates" getting it pumped out, the stress & inconvenience vs. One of those for thirty quid?.

The Mikes cleaned the fuel lines and the tank, did a new fuel filter etc. put in a quarter of a tank of diesel - it must have taken quite a while and they had to clear the place due to the fuel ignition risk - the charge was the same as it always is - £85.

I reckin Mike Senior starts with the price £85 and then fills in the work. Its his favourite price. Well worth getting it taken there even with the cost of driving over to collect. I can't imagine a garage I didn't know giving me change from a couple of hundred quid for this to be honest.

The whole incident was totally seemless from ringing Lifesure to getting Dydo back - obviously I had the hassles of the school run to sort but for 48 hours I can cope.

I agree. I knew I could trust them with Dydo and that's why I always go over there even though its half an hours drive. I never considered getting it taken anywhere else by the recovery vehicle. It is worth the peace of mind to me to pay the fuel to get there, and take the time because I know I will be properly looked after and I have no worries about being ripped off. I dont ask how much things will cost. I know that if I am going to be shocked then Mike will ring me and if not he will just get on with it and I will happily pay.
