Grrrr....
Fiat Bravo 1.8 - split flexi hose on driver's side rear. Got the replacement hose and came to fit it today but a combination of rain and awkward access to the underside of the car meant I couldn't sort it. Rang the AA and got them to tow it to Tyresales up the road, bloke said he would bung a new hose on for me. Couple of hours later he rings me and says the flexi has seized onto the rigid hose and no amount of lube, heat, hammering, etc will free it. Ideally would like to get the car home to have a play in the comfort of my own drive, but need some way of towing it home - I recall being towed in the past by an AA guy using a towpole (big bar with a spring on which hooked onto a towing eye), where he expressly told me not to use the brakes but to steer and keep the bar as straight as possible, could I get a mate to tow me using one of these even though my brakes are shagged? Do you need a towball on the towing car or can you just hook it from towing eye-to towing eye?
Cheers
