    I had problems with an Audi A4. Power steer packed up suddently. I could hardly steer it to the side of the road it was so heavy.

    Saying that theres a lot to be said about using an old banger (thats safe) because you aint losing anything. My 7 year Galaxy is still going strong at 120K. Loathe to get rid because its paid for and it works.

    But I always things car packs up and you cant get to client one day is gonna be costly maybe.
    I got caught by this once. Had a long journey ahead and taxi would have been prohibitive and no good train option. These guys were great in an emergency. http://www.europcar.co.uk/services/c...er-and-collect
