Hello.

I hope someone can suggest an answer to a logistics problem.

My step daughter had the EGR valve replaced on her 2011 VW Touran last year when she was living in Yorkshire. It seems it has now failed again, just within 12 months, and the garage will happily look at it FOC.

The problem is she has now moved to Cornwall.

She can get the car (which is in limp mode) recovered to Yorkshire but how can she get it back down again? Single mum, two small children, she can't just jump on a train up there.

Anyone know any companies who could for a reasonable price bring it back from near Northallerton to Newquay?

Thanks smile

The original bill was £600. The Yorkshire garage has said they will fix it, whatever is needed, FOC.

They have suggested a garage in Bristol who would do the same but she would need to pay out up to £600 again (which she doesn't have) and then (try to) claim it back.

Taking two children aged 4 and 2 on a road journey like this just wouldn't work....

Thanks for the suggestions though.
