If you are totally stuck I have somewhere in the garage an A frame that fastens on to the bottom wishbones and fastens down with ratchet tie belts. The other end fits on the tow ball. To tow you just disengage the steering lock and you can pull the car no driver required. You would need a lighting board running off the tow car. I would say I am up in Scotland and suspect postage would be about twenty pounds. Remember the tow car has to be as big as the car you are pulling. Alan Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Alan, that's very kind thank you. I'm not too clear on the law with regards towing with an A frame. Another member is going after the car so it is probably as far as I will go with this macafee2 |

They need to come up with something more definitive. Perhaps they are waiting for a court case or two to set precedent? |

As you can see from another post another member is interested and so I will only come into play if he does not get the car.
It is a long way for me and cost of transport was a concern, in truth I'd prefer ne much closer. thank you all for the advice and offers of help. lets hope the car is saved macafee2 |

What do you mean duff clutch? If it is still driving and not slipping you can drive the car without a clutch, just start it in gear and go up and down the box using revs to match speed and you can select gears
