I average about once a year on the flatbed - clutch slave each time apart from one puncture. For the slave I just call the AA and they take it to APM and pay for the fix (parts insurance smile)

Hope all the Cerbie's will be match fit for the forthcoming 'Spank it' at Spa tour, had a close call yesterday with the low loader, dropped key's and the unlock/disarm micro switch broke off the fob pcb, held it back on the pcb in roughly the right place and managed to get in and get home by some miracle rolleyes

No doubt some wag will spot your car on the low loader just to add insult to injury laugh happened to me last year!

What you can't see are the two gouges in tarmac left by the brand-new exhausts at the pick-up point.

Double Doh !

Ouch, that's bad luck!

I must admit to spending quite a lot of time on mine recently ensuring that everything works ok. Brakes are next...

Hi,
I think I've heard it said that the cerb should only ever be moved on a low-loader, can you remind me why? Is it just down to angle-of-dangle at the rear when you raise the front? Something to do with the diff? It's bound to happen one day so I need to know what to tell the AA to convince them!

My only problem (apart from it not actually workin hehe) was that I had non-standard exhausts on and their ends protrude further from the rear and are lower than standard. Apart from that I think a "Standard" Cerb will roll on and off just fine.

The middle of the chassis, however, is only 120cm from the ground so there will regularly be probs moving over humps in the ground as in here
