Two hours 17 minutes and counting, waiting in some country lane waiting for the RAC to turn up to sort out a puncture. What a shower of s**t. This is allegedly the Premium service. Cancellation tomorrow.

Is there a reason why it's not possible to change the wheel yourself ?

I think the AA is the solution.

Once used some of that stuff, didn't read the label and I exploded the tyre!
What do you expect on the coldest night of the winter so far. Bound to be many flat batteries in and around towns and cities so country roads are a long way down the list.

Well at least he could get warm whilst waiting, but would have to listen to or pretend to be a bit of a lush.

No jack, tyre is ok but one of them skinny temporary ones. Finally got in 15 mins ago. Oh and I pay premium for the RAC and this was my first ever call out. Five cars hit the same pothole at around the same time. All had their roadside assistance and were gone within the hour, I was waiting 2 hours 55 mins. Absolute shower. I'm going AA (not the alcohol one although I may need it when I'm done getting through my Guinness this evening). They could have got me a breakdown truck from Birmingham in the time I waited!

I don't know what this is but I doubt it would have helped, the walls got ripped up.

If he is cold he can simply siphon some petrol out and set fire to it..

Did not know you could call them out for a puncture !, its not a proper breakdown is it.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Why should he? he paid for a service. I would be straight on the phone to cancel. Not good enough. There again i've always been with the AA. You are covered and not the car which is what i like.
Can understand why you called RAC but why hasn't your car got a toolkit? As for tyreweld, my wife has that for her car. Thougth it odd that she didn't have a spare and apparentlly manufacturers don't supply them as standard as the lower weight helps meet emission restrictions!! That said, used it on my wife's car once. Once done was able to get the car home. All well within the hour.
