Use the damned AA. You pay therm for recovery & when or where you bought it is nothing to do with them.
They make their money by recovering vehicles. I've done it many times.
I've told them in the past that I've just bought it & the owners lied about some of the problems.
If the AA start to ask questions tewll them to F**k off & do what you've paid them to do.

In reply to that I would say read your contract it is not a recovery service for anyone who knowingly buys a faulty vehicle and wants to get it home" if I turned up to someone with your attitude I wouldn't pick you up at all.
But as your name suggests your trying to be controversial.

There was a time when they hung around service stations on the motorway flogging memberships to people who had broken down, and your going on Ricks black list by the way.

You still see them at Service stations etc, but only touting for new members, I have never seen one looking for broken down drivers and then trying to sell a membership to them.
For 2 reasons,
1) You can join if you are broken down, But you pay an extra cost if your breakdown occurs within 24 hours of joining iirc.
2) You have to be darn lucky to have a breakdown at the services.

2o years ago I broke down on a A road and after trying to get a signal on my new fangled BT cellnet Brick phone this AA patrol swung in, asked if I'd like him try and fix it.
I enquired as to whether I needed to join first but he replied "no charge"...your under no obligation to join, it's just part of our ethos. Car fixed in 10 minutes, twas fuel pump relay which he duly bridged.
I did join there and then, but I proceeded to abuse the system 6 months down the line inin the manner discussed previously by buying a "non-runner" 30 miles from home, did I feel bad, kinda but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
My heart sank a bit as he spotted the out of date tax as he affixed the towing frame, he knew!

Looks like a speak and spell?
For ODB you can get a bluetooth thingy for about a fiver and the Torque app for your phone for free or nearly free.
does it program keys?
Doubt it. But that won't for a P38 either, will it?
no idea - but worth asking the Q?
It said ODB but the P38 isn't. Only Huf seem to be able to program keys. @MrSporty can clone them, I think.
Of course :doh:

In reply to Mick,
Who is being controversial, as my name suggests. I take you you are assuming? because you haven't a clue how I got that nick name, but pi** me off, you will find out. I take it you work for the AA or one of the others.
I've been with the AA for 12 years, they don't give a damned what I get them to recover, as long as it isn't a roadside repair. & if someone like Mick turned up, god bless him.
