Taking a ride on the back of the breakdown lorry! I was surprised we stayed in the vehicle.

Hi The breakdown service people spoke to the garage directly and sorted it out. The only question the tow person asked me was whether I had run out of fuel. Afterwards I realised this is probably because a breakdown company would not pay in that circumstance. The problem is with the fuel electrics. The latest fix is to replace the fuse box, as apparently there was a dodgey connector! Fingers crossed when I pick it up later in the week.

Hi, my two year old Superb broke down just South of Lyon about 6 weeks ago on one of the toll roads. The Skoda breakdown cover paid for the tow - a very frustrating removal from the motorway to a village in the middle of nowhere to be told that it was lunch time for the next two hours so they could not do anything. It was only after they then looked at the car and confirmed that there was nothing they could do (after lunch) that Skoda would take any further action. Not a great start to my holiday! Car was returned to Yorkshire by the Skoda recovery firm, paid for again by the breakdown cover. Hope you do not need the service! I have been told today that my car should now have been fixed (the third time I have been told that) so fingers crossed. I have been impressed with the Skoda breakdown service in general - just wished I had not needed to use it as often as I have.
