I broke down on the M4, after a good cry I was able to set off again. Old ones are the best ones!
A real breakdown when I was running a Toyota Diesel on veg oil. I'm with National Breakdown, rang from the motorway phone told them I was Diabetic and needed something to eat, got to me in 15 minutes. They don't fix at the roadside but he had a look and could not start it, took me to the next services and arranged for another transporter to collect us. I popped in to get a bite to eat when I came back he said it started no problem, only it is on E on the gauge, Yep run out of fuel, loading and unloading must have sloshed enough about once re-primed it ran ok. OK red faced but I had 120 litres of veg oil in the back, even more red faced I did not let on though!
Yes when you are stranded they are the best guys on the road.
