Post by: stupott901 on 06, August, 2009, 08:47:09 PM
Hi There
I have got my SVA retest next Friday the 14th Aug and want to know if there is somewhere local where i can Hire an Towing Vehicle and cat trailer the only place i found is in Malvern Worcs,

I would drive it there but for two reasons:

1.  The weather how bad has it been lately??

2.  I a bit worried as I put in a new set of spark plugs in, test drove for about  5 miles and went to start the other day and no go so put in another set of plugs and it was fine ahhhhhhh?

anyone got any suggestions

cheers stu

In hunting to pick up donor car this was a headache for me as no current car with a tow bar, found places but not near you.

Other than Marks good suggestion try:

Trowbridge Trailer Centre Ltd   --  01225752647

Or AVON TRAILER TOWBAR CENTRE Trailer Hire -- 01761 411171

closer ones to you I'm aware of.

You wont get cheaper than that :)

If all else fails you can try eBay. Here a list of 10 transporters in Wiltshire,
