Apart from the usuall set of essential spanners/screwdrivers etc, I would certainly carry a spare 100A fuse.

I always understood that a throttle cable was an essential, and, along with the 100A fuse, I carry spare bulbs, etc.

Dave.

I too recommend the AA parts and labour, but I only have the £52 one...£500 limit. The £99 that you have, was stopped 9 months ago...unless they have reintroduced it. When did you get yours?

I'm in my second year now. I think I renewed in May.
£1000 limit. You just have to call the breakdown out first before you call the warranty department.
Have you had your money back yet?

Sorry it's a little bit off topic

I'll give them a ring to see about if they've reintroduced it. As for claiming....yes, twice. £450 towards a clutch and £270 towards my damper repair.
