GTI8v:
Just read all the pages, what a bummer for you. I certainly wouldn't want to be in your position as it's the not knowing that's sometimes worse.
As for towing to somewhere 40 minutes away, if on a trailor then go for the garage you trust.
If having to tow with a rope, old fashioned style, then garage round the corner.
If your engine doesn't run you'll have little / no braking and no power steering, which is something I personally wouldn't do.

hope you get it sorted soon though.

Pesky jones:
No wouldnt tow with a rope, especially as dsg so needs front off the ground. Would they possibly pick it up? Anyone know how much would it be to tow approx 30 miles?

GTI8v:
I'm sure the garage will have someone they use if they don't have a truck themselves.
Easiest way is to ring them and ask the questions, they know better than us unfortunately.

howie1987:
if your wanting to move a car. uship are cheapish. just put up an ad and they bid. it was £240 for me to ship a car 350miles. just another option if the garage can't pick up. https://www.uship.com/uk/

Hope you get the car sorted out. must be a gutter of a position to be in.

Goodluck mate.

London is the worst place to be to ask for towing ad I've found trying to move a porsche 7 miles they wanted £120 £90 £70
Got it done for £30 from an ex colleague who was a driver for Ford lol
Then got a guy from Birmingham to collect it and take it to Devon £375.00 then someone in Rainham collected it from Devon for £125.00  :jumping: that's was cheap.

Good luck Pesky  :sad1:
