Really can't thank him enough
Was in Worcester with my newest purchase on the back of my recovery truck and the starter packed in
Messaged him see if he new anyone with a starter as I was stranded 130+ miles from home couldn't get a starter so came out and tow started me, started straight up, but after talking for a hour and looking at the car it cut out.
4 or 5 tows later it started again but wouldn't idle without revs been held on so zakk sat in with throttle on while I loaded back up
Was really boggy when I set off so left my foot mashed on the throttle on the rev cut in 1st rammed it into second fast as I could left it on fuel cut in 2nd and was fine after
So was a eventful trip but so worth it
Still be stuck there if it wasn't for zakk top lad

Haha,no worries mate
I certainly was amused at the irony of the Peugeot you were there to recover being more reliable than the transit
And fair play to the hdi for towing a transit no problem haha
I bet the house we were outside of were happier than you when you finally got going again, an hour of revving transit would do anyone's head in :roll:
