This is not super urgent - can wait a few days.

Is there anyone out there who would be able to recover my LR90 from Swansea to the Blackwood area? (approx. 50miles)
EDIT: This may well need a trailer as its a steering wobble issue.

Happy to pay for fuel etc, (also Hobnobs).

Going up Heads of the Valleys is the alternative route, going out of Swansea through Jersey Marina avoids the M4 totally to get on to the A465.

The issue I have is steering wobble at 20mph+ so I'm not sure if it can be towed unless there's someway the steering can be isolated?

I'm going to err on the side of caution and say would be an issue controlling it as its bad enough to mean I can't just drive it home

I don't know of anyone with a trailer in the area. We're always a bit desperately short of them which is a shame with so many excellent towing vehicles.

Hiring must be worth having a look at
 
No where near Swansea but I have moved a few Green Oval products using trailers.
What I have found is its cheaper to have someone move it rather than hire and do it yourself.
I had to pay for a burst tyre last time I hired one so cost me £130 (£60 for the trailer + £70 for call out and tyre change)
Last one I had moved cost me £40 and the guy did all the work and took all the risk and was insured to boot.

I would have thought a rented trailer should have a spare - or its down to the rental co...?

Appears not, I did contact them, having broke down miles from nowhere, best they could suggest was Kwik Fit, who I believe are not very big on Trailer tyres. Luckily it happened in the sticks where there are loads of agricultural vehicles and trailers. Managed to get a local company to come out and change the tyre.
