Major Stare Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 During the latter part of February, i need to get my Westfield from M1 junction 27/28 area to Ilkeston, Nottingham. My drive is quite steep, so the winch needs to pull the car onto the trailer and your vehicle needs to be able to pull trailer and westfield up the short steep drive. Also, might have to do this during a week day. Beer tokens and petrol money's available. Quote
Bronco Jr Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Having attempted something like this before, my advice would be to tow the car out and up the drive. keep the trailor on the road. I tend to hire a trailor wen needed (£35 for the day) and I have a tow bar. But being north of harrogate I'm a bit far away. If you dont get any nearer help let me know if a w/e (cant do week days) Good luck Quote
stephenh Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I'm near Uttoxeter, and if you dont find anyone nearer give me a pm. I should have thought there must be someone who can help in the Derby/Nottingham area though? It doesn't sound like a very long journey, Junction 27 is practically in Ilkerston I thought? Quote
KerryS Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 You know I said I'd help you when you needed, Fish We're away 2nd and 3rd week of Feb and of course daytime is not a problem Think you still have my mobile number? Quote
Major Stare Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks all. Kerry, PM me your mobile number. Wont be till the end of Feb or very early March Quote
dhutch Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I also have a trailer in loughborough incase either of the above are unable to make a day i can. - Im told it wide enough for a widebody although that would be something to check before hand (DIY build covered trailer). Daniel Quote
DAVE O Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 ^^^^^ Likewise in North Notts if you need it - let me know ^^^^ Quote
Asterix Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 If you need any extra manpower, given enough warning, I should be able to help. Quote
Georgie Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 The other half has a discovery with a winch on it.. and a trailer which fits a widebody westie on. We are down south but he regularly goes up to wolverhampton and beyond. If your still suck let us know. Quote
Major Stare Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Cheers all. Will be in touch Kerry. Peter, will let you know if we need an extra pair of hands. Dave, good to hear from you. Quote
barney Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 john,take the b****y engine out and it will push up your drive easily....... as peter,give us some notice and ill try and get over.. Quote
green-light-on Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Fish, i said you could have my covered trailer to move the car any time mate, the only thing to move the trailer is my motor home so you need a tow car, so if it looks like rain its here just let me know all the best Gray. Quote
