Hish Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Dear All, I am trying this last option as a desperate measure to recover my Disco TD4 that had its head gasket problems and now is a non runner . I checked with a couple of UK companies so far and the prices are stupid. I know this is a stabb in the dark trying an SOS message like this one but I have ran out of options so far and this my second week in Zurich trying to find a solution coz my Insurance IBEX/LLOyds of London, last year sold me a European breakdown cover " the top product they have " called " Prestige " 600 GBP. A warning to all if your car isn´t brand new or less than 1 year old just forget repatriation etc.. one person from the insurance company told me this on the private " may be coz she felt sorry for us " !! Those wasters have defaulted on everything they´ve written on the paper ! so they refused to repatriate my car ! I spent stupid amount on phone calls to them etc but i will deal with those wasters later when I get back home " i´m not holding my breath for any results really ". So if anyone knows of a reasonable company or someone with a trailer etc.. may be we can do a deal like I pay all expenses + etc.. cheers Hish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Can you not get it fixed in Switzerland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Surely getting it fixed where you are is an option as q-rover says? Gotta be cheaper than getting it recovered to the UK where you'll need to get it fixed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This lot are coming up as an Independent landie specialist in Zurich on Google http://www.uetli-garage.ch/?page=38 Labour rates in Switzerland are mayfair rates but with the minimum qualification for a mechanic being a 4 year apprenticeship you'll find the level of professionalism to be high. Tell them you only want it Fahrbahr zurueck nach England, nicht MFK-bereit (drivable to Uk not Swiss-MOT standard) Viel glueck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Or, luker bros specialise in moving stuff to Switzerland, they might be able to help; http://www.lukerbros.co.uk/ Or try getting quotes from Shiply.com, uship.com, anyvan.co.uk for part-loads. I would still advise fixing over there tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Whilst they're at it, get them to fit an extra cylinder too! (Sorry, not much help am I!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
