Car recovery help needed stuttgart to amsterdam

[gledy2]

Just had a friend on the phone this morning on his european tour. The 2010 tdv6 Rangie sport he bought 3 months ago has decided to destroy the main crankshaft bearing. His car is still under warranty from arnold clark only once the car is in the uk. The european breakdown cover he had with his bank account he checked he had before he left is not worth the paper it is written on, and he paid 180 euros to get it to the land rover dealer last night. The car does drive and he has a ferry booked from amsterdam to newcastle on saturday, where he can get the car recovered in the uk, but he is only keen to drive it from the port onto the ferry and off again.

Anyone any suggestions on towing companies from stuttgart to amsterdam, about 600km on google maps. I was thinking somebody who had an incident at the ring might be able to offer some advice!

Thanks in advance for any help!

There's a few guys who do UK recovery from the ring, might be worth getting on Bridge to Gantry & ask in there or ask Dale.

Cheers cpt, will have a look on bridge to gantry, is dale on here or on bridge to gantry?

[gledy2]

Cpt, bridge to gantry isnt automatic registration due to spammers, so up to 24 hours until registered. Needing the car in amsterdam for saturday.

Seemingly it is a german national holiday tomorrow, anyone know of renting a car transporter trailer and vehicle in germany. I have a nice brian james trailer here, but not much use!
