gfkskoda's post in Running with no auxiliary belt ... was marked as the answer@StevesTruck et al ...
We went for plan C. Drove (gingerly) to local railway station (12 miles). Mrs drove back (12 mi) while I got train to pick up hire car. She then drove from home to U18 (another 12 mi) ... so I reckon (for anyone else with a similar dilemma in the future) we managed around 90 miles & four starts on "battery only".
Naturally, ICE switched off, Aircon and fan off, minimal use of anything electrical in the car to save any but essential load on battery - I even joined the BMW club and forgot about the existence of indicators ...
Of course, I can't say if it'll start when Ali at U18 needs it to :-)
The battery is in pretty good nick, only 2 years old, so that may have contributed ...
Thanks all for your input, greatly appreciated.
