Guys

Need to get a non starting Cerb backwards up a drive onto a tow truck in the morning!

It was parked pointing downhill but now can't be moved or turned around as the immobiliser has failed, so its of to HHC tomorrow via Britannia Breakdown

Can't deny I'm worried about angles etc for the tow cable from the truck Vs the bodywork to get it onto the tilting flat bed backwards, but the bigger concern is where do you recommend we fasten the cable?

Tks in advance for any advice

Only place i would think would be the rear chassis rail and use a long soft strop on and just take it very easy and see how you get on.

Many thanks Scotty

Just done exactly that, its was tight to get anything underneath and with all the angles and it would have easily twisted exhaust off had we not kept a watchful eye, but its all aboard the very capable Britannia, on its way to HHC

Tks again for the prompt advice
