As title. Need a flatbed truck or trailer to possibly transport my Type-R Impreza from Chelmsford, Essex.

I have breakdown cover but the engine's been taken out, so if they look under the hood I'm gonna be stuck.

Would ideally want the car moved ASAP and taken to APi.

Phil, doesn't look long enough? Please guys, need all the help I can get at the mo'.

You can always give them a ring and explain whats gotta happen! Make sure you tell them it has no engine. They might come out and move it for free or charge you! worth a try!

Nah, they said they wouldn't come out if it has no engine in it. They would try and fix the car there and if they couldn't do that, they'd then move it.

If they were willing to come out knowing it had no engine in it, I think a lot more people would be trying it on.
